The binomial, in equestrian terms, refers to the human-equine rapport. Both move as one, working in harmony and with a subtle understanding: the aids (which is what the way the rider communicates with the mare is called) are not noticeable to the observer.
This equestrian binomial has been present in our imagination since time immemorial and is represented in mythology. Beasts half human half equine merge into a single majestic and feared being, the centaur. This indissoluble relationship between humans and equines has been present in the history of art to this day. The fascination with the strength, nobility and beauty of horses, in their delicate movements and at the same time the brutality of their stampedes. A metaphor for humanity itself, the eternal struggle between civilization and barbarism. Our inner animal that faces the domestication of society. Longing for freedom in its powerful movements.
Centàurides is the deconstruction of this ancestral binomial, a reflection on the connection between the animal and the person, on savagery, a vindication of liberated femininity in the forgotten Centàurides. In this context, the photography of simple forms, binomials and symmetries in which equines and humans mix, managing to visually capture feelings, sensations, textures, and above all, the eternal struggle for freedom.
