The horses hail from Mongolia. The artist captured images along a boundary within Mongolia, documenting the contrasting landscapes on each side. This boundary separates the realms of the Przewalski's horse and the domestic horse: on one side, a 506 square-kilometer sanctuary protects wild horses, untouched and unaided by human hands; on the other side, horses live entirely different lives under human care, serving as children's companions, workers, modes of transport, sustenance, and sources of amusement. The Przewalski's horses in Mongolia appear more liberated than their domesticated counterparts, yet they live in a Truman Show-like existence, observed from the start and constantly monitored by zoologists (and tourists).
