Artist Statement:

The Galloping Horse sculpture is a homage to the works of Marey and Muybridge, both pioneers at the frontiers of art, science, the cinema and biomechanics. This animated sculpture pushes us to understand the extent to which we are movement ourselves: in our actions as we can ride this animal, or even as we imitate a galloping horse through child’s play. With no more than 18 light diodes, we sense the presence of the horse. We are movement before anything else.
