3 Dreams of Horses

Film is made out of gelatin that comes from horses. They’re waiting to
be slaughtered, so that pictures can be made.
Many years ago we learned the language of our masters. Though we
couldn’t help wondering why so few of you bothered to learn ours.
Three scenes featuring horses, remembering Jacinto. The first is a
daytime forest haunting that winds up at a carousel, the second a
rainy street in Portugal, the finale a nighttime vigil of fire and
water.
A triptych in which the figure of the horse becomes a medium for
meditation on its various incarnations as symbol, domesticated animal
for human domination, and its abstract power as spirit.
