Description
The Problem Horse & Other Stories is a darkly poetic meditation on our relationship to horses and the natural world. It is a search for connection with another species that questions the desires and anxieties that drive this relationship.
Sleaford uses analogue processes in the darkroom, and through interventions with the print, to explore the emotional response of her memory of the horses and landscape she encounters. It features a text-free flow of black & white photographs, including images of horses, the landscape, still life and performative photographs of the artist that contemplate the complexity of our relationship with another animal. The multiple folds-outs within the book accent how much remains hidden from us.
