GOOD BYE HORSES by Céline Struger

»All things pass into the night« Q Lazzarus, Good Bye Horses

“The magic of the past is given wings by the mysticism of the uncertain. Based on a small amount of secured information, we created fable worlds, and their elusiveness only heightens our longing for them.

Céline Struger’s installation Good Bye Horses at MQ Art Box picks up this thought, contemporary fossils emerge, and the ambivalence between transience and eternity becomes tangible. It is a form of creative archeology, which explores the different aspects of art and science and articuates dualities.

The bones are both originals and fakes. Is this a bird-like creature appearing in its natural pose, or are these the remains of a cultic site? Good Bye Horses is both a glance into the distant past as well as a window to the future, into a world marked by climate change and mass extinction.”
