Here’s everything you need to know about this cryptic, compelling work. As the title suggests, The Record Part 1 is built around a single, brutalist constraint: over the course of one calendar day , Stray-X recorded eight distinct dogs — strays, neighbor’s pets, shelter animals, or chance encounters.
