The Horse is a Text. Is a Girl. Is a Body.

There are years and years and I do nothing but try to do Horses. I search for them wherever I go. I see their shadows in photos and movies. I read them. Every text has a Horse. Not many humans notice. When I don’t find them I make them. That means. They find me.

(I’m so sorry if the telling is obscured, if you can’t follow : the Horse is a troyan horse when I let them into the text the invade and the fuck up. In the best of ways ! in the ways that make you wonder: IS THIS REALLY A TEXT. To un-text the text, that is what the horse doooooo)

And also…

I write novels about Horses.

Then I try with theatre. The horse is (on) stage. But I can’t have the horse-horse there I can’t make them suffer under the Gaze etc etc. so I know the girl is a horse (is the horse a girl). There. They are. I look at them when the director work with them. I do the script. The director do what they do. The actors are old girls. They play on the stage. In the rehearsal room. The suburban stage outside stockholm the on the royal court theatre in london.

I look at the girl-horse bodies. The violence violence.

Holding hair like reins. Braiding hair like tails

Taking CARE

Doing hard. Violent.

Crimes of care.

The girls bodies are hard and strong. The girls bodies are soft and hurt. The girls bodies are hard and hurt. I looooook.

Looking at horses looking at girls.

o.

I see the horse body inside the girl. The movement. Embody. Perform. Per-form. The mimicry. The mimi-cry (?) no one notice, the girl is a horse. I do.

I look.

 

I look and I write.
