You are looking at a photo of the artist Joseph Beuys and a wild coyote.
It is taken during his performance I like America and America Likes Me in which he locked himself into one of the rooms of the René Block Gallery for three days, eight hours a day. It was 1974, New York, and the audience watched them together through a grid fence.
What strikes you is that Beuys framed himself and his coyote as protagonists in a time-based story. He died on a Thursday, in his home in Dusseldorf.
