In this short monologue, the speaker explains that Jeff Koons’s Balloon Dog is conceived as an interface—a membrane that connects the internal self with the external world. The balloon form symbolizes a dialogue, a back‑and‑forth exchange between our inner life and outside reality, and through this interaction we are able to transcend ordinary experience.
I'm known for balloon dogs. The reason I made a balloon dog is because the balloon is this interface. It's the membrane between the internal and the external world, and really is a symbol of this type of dialogue, of back and forth between the two. Our internal being, our internal life, how it interacts with the external world, and how we continue to transcend through that interaction.
