The Hermes Scarf Horse
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
The play by Peter Shaffer, where a psychiatrist attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological sexual obsession with horses, is reminiscent of the work of US photographer Monica Stevenson she uses luxury goods such as Tiffany bracelets and Hermes Scarves on and next to equines as the focus for some of her major work.
This piece of a horse wearing a luxury scarf ‘Hermes Scarf Horse’ won Stevenson a place in the ‘Advertising photographers of America’. It spurns you to question your morality, is the horse alive? What is around the ears? It says something about the use of animals. It is displayed in such as way that you have to see it, you have to notice every inch of, its colour, its folds.
Monica’s main subjects have always been horses, her equine photographs are displayed proudly on her website. I think she mixes the use of luxury Hermes and Gucci goods with ther love of equines beautifully in her work.
Her photographs are potent and sexy, although, is there is something wrong about liking it? It feels as if Stevenson is pulling back the curtain and unveiling a taboo, daring us to keep watching.
The work has almost a sadomasochistic edge to it, highlighted by the use of horse and human hair wound around Iron stirrups and leather straps, oddly enough a similar thing is depicted on this vintage Hermes scarf.
Stevenson’s use of insects, typically reviled in fashion is also very beautiful. She dares the observer to keep watching and in that, exposes the underbelly of each piece and holds it up for closer inspection.
The beauty about Stevensons work is that is takes you away to somewhere new, it might not be a beautiful place at times but that doesnt seam to matter, it is the interest that keeps you watching.
