The Four Riders is a four channel video installation that deconstructs the equine anatomy into landscapes of moving flesh. Of course the theme is the four riders of the apocalypse, but it’s beautifully shot and edited.
Scary Inspiration
Inspired by the apocalyptic atmosphere in Durer’s Four Horseman woodcut as well as by Eadweard Muybridge’s study of animal movement, this work places the horse in a contemporary context by staging the wild and grotesque next to the restrained and elegant.

Something More Cheerful?
I’m sure I can accommodate you on that one, but I do enjoy the uniqueness of non-horse people’s take on our favorite animal.
This was cool! Loved the chest videos. The eyes were a little creepy, but the chestnut draft had such a calm, knowing eye. Thanks for doing this.
Brilliant – it was my heart beating ! Not sure about the eyes at the end, but it was very interesting.
Thank-you once again for finding and sharing 🙂
