Beatrice Burlone's 'Mal della luna' Explores Feminist Perspectives on Human-Animal Relationships

Beatrice Burlone unveils 'Mal della luna,' a photographic endeavor that examines the power dynamics between humans and horses. The title alludes to a condition in horses that leads to blindness, serving as a metaphor for human ignorance. Through her photographs of horse eyes and training gear, Burlone critiques the traditional hierarchy in human-animal interactions, drawing from her equestrian background. Adopting a feminist lens, she connects the male perspective on both animals and women. The project showcases symbolic imagery and historical photographs of horses, highlighting their subjugation to human perceptions. Burlone advocates for more respectful relationships by intertwining the identities of women and horses. This exhibition is featured in 'Il teorema dell’anatra,' supported by LABA Libera Accademia di Belle Arti in Brescia, and includes a quote from Joan Fontcuberta.
