How Many Horses

This project is also part of the main subject “Equine Echoes” but works with a different concept. While it is necessary to adhere to the four horses in the apocalyptic horse series, this one needs lots of single equine depictions to show the problem. This book is a copy of “Kunst Künstler Kunstwerke” by Gottfried Lindemann from 1967 (Alpha Verlag), in which European artists are listed. Every page about a male artist is covered by a horse.

‚Equine Echoes‘ is a journey through the intricate network of contemporary crises by reinterpreting the iconic ‚Four Apocalyptic Horsemen‘ as individual harbingers of impending catastrophes. The revelation lies in both reduction and expansion – the acknowledgment that naming the complexities of our era requires a nuanced representation – while remaining abstract.
In this visual exploration, each horse transcends its traditional role and becomes a symbol of sociopolitical challenges. Each horse embodies a facet of political turbulence, societal discord, ecological crises, and the own inner voice. Some horses stand alone, representing the uniqueness of specific issues, while others come together to illustrate the diversity of interwoven challenges. ‚Equine Echoes‘ invites to decipher this overloaded horse vocabulary and analyze the visual allegory of our time. As the viewers contemplate these symbolic horse heralds, they are encouraged to ponder the interaction of catastrophes and perhaps discern the resonance of their collective hoofbeats embarking on a beginning journey to echo through our world. The recurring question: HOW MANY HORSES will it be?
