A internet está saturada com videos de animais com uma aparência ou agir de forma engraçada ou cómica, desde compilações em que gatos falham performar certas acções a cães que dançam ao som de música pop. Em resumo, a ideia de humanos usarem animais para se divertirem é imensamente difundido. Animal Jokes (for Pets) é uma tentativa de reservar este regime dominante e imaginar momentos de humor, acções e tentativas de divertimento, vistas desde a perpesctiva do próprio animal de estimação. Animal Jokes (for Pets) consiste numa série de “piadas” físicas e mentais imaginando um tipo de humor que os humanos não têm acesso. Esta performance teve a sua premiere no Salon Klimbim na Vienna Secession (com curadoria de Fahim Amir). Alex Bailey é um artista e performer nascido em 1986, na cidade de Bristol (UK), vive e trabalha em Viena (Aústria).

O trablho de Krõõt tem como base a relação com realidades performativas como o desparecimento do tempo de trabalho e o tempo de lazer, produção e consumismo, intenção e chance.
