The woman who married a horse: intimate photos of love between a woman and a horse - Bradl

Both men and women can build a very close bond with a horse

Girls love horses, boys playing football, a rule, the company holds and codified, pop cultural pictures for decades, if not even for centuries, persistent

The photographer Wilma hurricanes as a child was one of those"horse girls', approaches the topic of women and horses as an adult but is clearly differentiated.

The woman who married a horse is your now also as a book published a photo series of the Finn sheds light on the magical connection between man and horse and the various facets of a friendship explores, there is always a more powerful, based on deep respect for each other. We have the -Year-old, whose pictures already in Europe and Asia were issued, about the fascination of the animal, tiny ponies, and almost the case of stereotypes about the relationship between a woman and a horse spoke.

What do you think is the difference in the relationship between women and horses and men and horses.

I'm not sure whether there must be absolutely a big difference.

On the one hand, there is this iconic image of the lone cowboy, whose only loyal companion, his horse.

On the other hand, for example, there are many young girls who believe in a certain age, that the only one who understands you, is your beloved Pony.

I grew up with three little sisters and I have photographed that's why always girls and women, and in the case of this project, these women share their bizarre world with these other creatures. How did the project come about. Very many unfulfilled childhood stuck there wishes in there. I haven't dreamt of as a child, to go riding, could it but.

You have a personal connection to the topic

As an adult, I've taken lessons and was thrilled. I've started to make me worry about how the horse in art as a Symbol is used, 've read many Say in which horses played a role and have me set at some point with the question of how we communicate as humans with these animals. The horse seems to be a kind of mirror to be sure that people see a Reflection of your self that you would not otherwise have access. At the same time, this mirror is becoming more blurred, the instrumentalized, the man with the animal handles it. The pictures show women with their actual horses or you've been working with Models.

For the first photos, I don't have poses, but it was very practical, that's why I have Women wanted who have spent large parts of her life with horses, and with them familiar.

Many of the photos I made in the USA, and fantastic young women, met girls, for example, that sat on the horse's back before you could even run correctly. Dealing with horses is in the United States is very different than the one I know of riders from my home. In Finland we don't see you more as a Hobby, we will work with you.

I came across it in each case, on insanely tight, on both sides of respectful relationships between women (and men) and horses that grew up together and from each other have learned.

It is really hard to put that into words. Lived the white Pony that you have on the Couch photographed, in fact, with the woman in a house. We got them for the image. It is an Arabella, a miniature horse that was also a real dwarf. Incredibly tiny. I had really lucky that I was working with trained horses were able to lie down on command. Of course, it is kind of a cliché, but: in fact, it is also codified, pop cultural pictures mostly of young girls, which is said to have a close connection to horses. Why do you think that this is so. Yes, it is a cliché, and sometimes I find it almost offensive how much the friendship between girls and horses, a juvenile Phase, the entrance is before you are interested in boys or their sexuality. This is so much more complex. There is this caring Element, but also works mutually. Horses are very accessible, they accept you as you are, and your physical presence can be very reassuring. On the other hand, you also need the people that calms you and leads to what can be for young women a way to get yourself in a leading Position to try out. With the huge creatures to work together, to experience together, things that can cause you to see the world in a very different way to see, like a horse.
