“It’s Funny How I Met This Horse contains photographs taken by Kateryna Lymar from the imaginative point of view of a newly hatched insect, just emerging from the ground and taking its first walk. The work explores perception at its most fragile and imaginative state. Underexposure, overexposure, blur, and extreme close-ups test the limits of the camera uncovering a newly found intimacy with the natural world. Guided by a pair of eyes emerging from the ground and taking their first steps, the images unfold like fragmented glimpses. With fleeting sharpness overlapping impressions are guiding the viewer into a dreamlike state. A hesitant journey through the unfamiliar.”
A series of full-page and full-colour reproduced photographs with a slightly disoriented, uncanny feel to them, thus mimicking the newly emerged insect’s point of view; leafing through this book is like experiencing familiar sights for the first time again,
With a brief text in English by Hanako Emden.
