La Troya. Un caballo en movimiento(2014)
4 min · Directed by Carlos Vásquez Méndez
Released
La Troya (in Chile) is the place where horses are exercised by going around in circles tied to a stake. I film this action taking into account the zoetropes mechanism, the study of animal locomotion carried out by the American zoopraxographer Edward Muybridge. and the film BERLIN HORSE by Malcolm Le Grice, and I try to disarticulate the movement of the horse in parts, first in "jump cuts" to then arrive at the minimum unit of cinema: the individual frames where the illusion of filmic movement is revealed.
