The Trojan Horse was a stratagem the Greeks used to deceive the walls of Troy. In an age of multiplication of images, our disciplinary walls are rooted in a cultural, media, even moral nature: therefore, a positive strategy that can shake the foundations of these condition is needed.
By playing with the usual aspect of the Horse we present the installation as an icon for a new subversive ambiguity.
Inspired by The Castle, artwork by Méndez Blake where he represented the impact of a book against the structure of a brick wall, the Horse — rethought as a database and communication vehicle — will face the language of the city where it lands and establish a network with other horses in other stages to tackle forgotten topics.
The goal of this program of public installations is to interact with the citizens by engaging with questionable points around the city, challenging them to explore alternatives.
The Horse is our vessel to collect and share ideas, strategies, solutions, knowledge.
Through an extraordinary journey, these Trojan Horses “travel” around and collect books, projects, strategies. Their foamy, playful nature counterpoints the menacing nature of the war machine. They then land and slowly approach and engage strategical points of interest around the cities, openly debating them and altering public spaces to experience solutions and the nature of the issues.
