THE LAND WAR
The imagery of a rearing horse, sometimes bridled or with reigns flying loose, signifies a powerful animal which has been subjugated by humankind.
Inescapably majestic and elegant in their powerful and muscular form, horses have an inherent sense of nobility.
The image of the horse carries with it the weight of nationalism and patriotism, and is associated with memorials and statues of statesmen and war “heroes”. Historically, they were the creatures men took to war, to fight and die alongside them with unrelenting loyalty.
Within this discrepancy between their physical power and their subservience, they become archetypal symbols for notions of human power struggles, war, nationalism and blind loyalty to leadership. Through these images we explore their dignity, their sense of agency, their own innate power independent from human quests.
The figures in this series conjure sentiments of resistance, revolution, and our individual ability to stand up to fascist rule and totalitarian power.
This thematic was rolled out over the course of 2019- early 2020 and took the form of murals, a bronze sculpture and a gallery installation at Fluctuart in Paris.
THE LAND WAR installation is now a part of the MUCA collection in Munich, Germany.
