Sequence of a Horse in Motion (VR)
Virtual Reality installation
The Virtual Reality installation “Sequence of a Horse in Motion” is the documentation of a dream by the artist. It follows the live art installation by the same title, in which a performer is hanging upside down and being circled by a horse. Using a VR headset, the spectator is invited to assume the performer's position as they step into the artist's original dream sequence. Reproducing the fleeting imagery of dreaming, this work challenges the ephemeral nature of both live art and dreams in an experiment with reenactment and reactivation.
