I had a dream where my friend had guinea pig babies. Everyone was allowed to take one, and I took a black one with a white spot on its head. In the dream, I put the guinea pig to my bag and carried it home. A couple of days later, I found the guinea pig in my bag.  

There was obviously something I had to do after the dream—I had to try to be more responsible. I got two guinea pigs named Tsatsuki and Thyra. For a couple of weeks, I took care of them. I bought a carrier and hay for them and carried them with me to school and work. I couldn’t forget them. I documented my performance on 35mm film.
