A horse that is just a gallop
The Galloping Horse sculpture is taking technology one step further in homage to the works of Jules Marey, a precursor at the frontier of art, science, the cinema and biomechanics. He also took great interest in the galloping movement of a horse. This animated sculpture of a horse helps us to understand to what extent we are movement.
We are movement, in our actions we can ride this animal, or even be ourselves a galloping horse (e.g. in child play). But we are also movement in our perceptions. Between the many light diodes, it is impossible not to see the horse or to feel its strong galloping momentum on a hard, dusty tarmac. Our body senses this. With no more than 18 points the galloping movement is transmitted. With no shapes, no material, no colours the horse is present, created by our perception. Immaterial and yet so present, with an allure that is subtly unique.
It is impossible to describe the sculpture. It is only when you face the object that the presence of the horse comes to life through its movement.
