The Horses Penis


The Horses Penis

Behold in all its Holy glory, the Horses' penis.

The Body is completely subjective. Your body is like that of nobody else.
Profound and disquieting. The nonsexual roots of the pudendum evaporate before the eyes, inviting a seismic upheaval of the mind marked with the preoccupation towards the orgasm, the ambiguous landscape of the soul rendered obsolete. The body is the objective it is the result of repetition over countless ages, through sheer will alone, the eternal flame lights the way beyond subjectivity. Desires both negative and positve left broken in a collision so magnificent only the memory can remain.

'The resounding air of suffering clouds the human mind. Acts of pleasure are barstardised by the formulation of opposites, from such opposites we see a seperation from their intended use. That is why we feed of tragedy.'

Apologies to band, but i must extend my memory beyond the constraints of the organic, therefore recording and sharing ensures the spieces continue unabated, endless and absurd.

The Joy and Tragedy of Human Expression
2005. Multiple Screen. Running Time Unknown.


A film so devisive the forces of nature would not allow it to bear form. Only the blurred edges of the film were left intact. The preamble audio/visual content are all that is left of this attempt to confront prejudice and learn from the disturbing concoction of nightmare and reason. What follows is a selection of text written by the creator in regards to and reasons for the film.


The moving image, more specifically the television has generated in its relatively short history an immense lexicon of imagery, sounds and text for us the audience/consumer to fill our meagre western minds with. Both cinema and television have evolved at a proportional rate for public consumption as technology has dictated.

There has always been a desire within the human spirit to delve into the phantasm, an almost animalistic regressive behaviour to return to a dream state where nightmare and reason are once again combined.

The nature of the cinema, the darkened auditorium, the magnificent white light blinding then leading the individual as a plural into a journey of either finite joy or perdition, shadows that of the memory of Man. Within the confines of the cinematic auditorium the audience give up all sense of individuality and are at the mercy of an unseen censor, the individual represents the entire human melee, and brings with them the entire spectrum of understanding required to be human. it is this understanding the individual brings to the table that enforces the cinematic and televisual forms.

The vast catalogue of imagery, sound and text presented to the audience at first glace, seems to represent an infinite dictionary for the consumer to apply upon their own lives. Categories and prejudices surround and divide our expectations of a programme, the division of subject matter has developed into a form of understanding built instinctively within the individual audience member, they (the audience) know what it is they are or about to watch. Images are captured but never contemplated, the narrative draws the gaze across the intangible temporal lines, subjects are so ingrained and frequently used that they are perceived only as repetition and never as the possible nobility of the creatively expressive.
