Horse Girl

Horse girl - Girl likes horses. Girl becomes horse. Camera becomes horse.

The relationship between girls and horses is not without clichés, but there is a special meaning in “playing horse”. Observing and empathizing with an animal body is something that can often be observed in children. Imitation and practicing animal movements take on a new dimension here. Who is copying whom? With joyful, playful exuberance and elegant ease, the horse-girl becomes a human-horse. In HORSE GIRL, Natalia del Mar Kašik follows the movements with a 16 mm camera until the perfect embodiment itself becomes a gesture of devotion. “Don’t dream it, be it!” (Petra Palmer)
