    My Horse was Hit by Lightning (2019)

September 20 - November 2, 2019

Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, Kelowna, Canada

Exhibition Description /

My Horse was Hit by Lightning explores ecology and masculinity in the context of anthropogenic climate crisis. The exhibition uses equipment to deconstruct the relationship between human and non-human. A 4x4 driver experiences bumpy terrain through suspension, padded seats, and steering columns. A gamer experiences their controller while their space-marine experiences weaponized body armour. Sportsmen, gamers, and outdoorsmen experience their equipment. Equipment is a mediator of human and nonhuman, a strained and inaccurate binary.
