About
Horse Feathers (2026)
Horse Feathers depicts the vision of a forest that is full of light and darkness. Combining found footage, super8 analogue film, and hyper-realistic digital images, this experimental film-lullaby utilizes the Kuleshov effect, in which the juxtaposition of two sequential images creates a new, or more intense meaning in the viewer's mind. The images have undergone stress processes and degradation to reveal artifacts, traces, and echoes; evocative of ephemera and memory. Shot in the New Forest in southern England, and inspired by the historical Charter of the Forest 1217 (companion to the Magna Carta) which establish rights of “free-men” to the royal forest, the work ebbs and flows between fatalism and hopefulness.
The morning comes, the night decays, the watchmen leave their stations;
The grave is burst, the spices shed, the linen wrapped up;
The bones of death, the covring clay, the sinews shrunk and dry'd Reviving shake, inspiring move, breathing, awakening,
Spring like redeemed captives, when their bonds and bars are burst
Let the slave grinding at the mill run out into the field, Let him look up into the heavens and laugh in the bright air;
Let the enchained soul, shut up in darkness and in sighing, Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years, Rise and look out; his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open;
And let his wife and children return from the oppressor's scourge.
They look behind at every step, and believe it is a dream, Singing: "The Sun has left his blackness, and has found a fresher morning, And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear and cloudless night;
For Empire is no more, and now the Lion and Wolf shall cease.
- William Blake, America: A Prophecy
