The hardware store dog: an old neighbourhood hardware shop in Korea with its front shutter rolled up, walls packed floor to ceiling with hanging tools, coils of hose, buckets, rolls of wire and boxes of screws. At the entrance an elderly mixed-breed Korean village dog with a short tan coat and one floppy ear sleeps curled on a worn plastic stool cushion, chin on its paws, one ear twitching up. A wrench and a ball of twine on the counter behind. Afternoon light from the street, dust in the air. Photorealistic. Products and boxes plain and unbranded. No text, no letters, no logos, no readable signs.
