PROJECT STATEMENT:
“The horse. There is nobility without conceit, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity.”(source unknown). High Horse is the visual journey, exploring the historic connection between human and horse. Through the journey of 3 stories, High Horse explores the unlikely comparisons of the lives of the two organisms.
Exploring first, the physical anatomy. Spanning from head to toe of both beings, juxtaposing bodily features and drawing similarities in daily tasks. Then highlighting the adornment and accessorisation of the two, through fashion and protective dress; emphasising the immense inspiration that humans draw from equine beings.
The narrative also dives into the nature and personality of the horses. By comparing the faces of humans and horses through exaggerated emotions in photography, synchronising the emotions of humans with horses.
It is playful, beautiful and engaging.
