Eden Avital Alexander, the woman seen walking a man on a leash on the streets of London last week, has solved the mystery behind the unlikely scene.
While talking to the UK daily The Independent, she said: “I had performed the stunt in order to gauge audience reactions, while a camera filmed the reactions of shocked pedestrians.
Some passersbys spoke to me during the stunt, with one arguing with the former stage actress on the human rights implications of walking the man in a humiliating way,” she added.
In an interview with the daily earlier this week, Eden said one person asked her to make “her dog smile to her camera.”
A few people asked her if it was her husband, she further said.
Alexander kept her identity anonymous for some time after the shoot, out of respect for the project’s director, the newspaper reported.
“I believe that artists, actors especially, should take the audience out of their normal everyday life and make them think and feel other things, in this case was to make them laugh, but while doing it different things came up,” she said.
On April 11, on the streets of London, the man wearing was being walked like a dog by a woman nonchalantly drinking a coffee.
The man was spotted on all fours by commuters at 8:30am in the Farringdon area.
Then it was estimated that the man-dog walk was a PR stunt, but so far likely suspects Agent Provocateur and Peta have both confirmed it is nothing to do with them.
