Alexandra Vogt

Austrian photographer Alexandra Vogt celebrates the freedom and sensuality of the horse in this new publication. Her slightly soft, intensely saturated color images far surpass the cliched imagery associated with women and horses; this is a world of obsession, where the horse is a metaphor for vitality and longing in an environment that seems increasingly empty of visual and literal poetry. Vogt's photos often pick out small details of the equestrian world, where tangled reins, prancing hooves or a wind-tossed mane become symbols for the larger meaning of these powerful, beautiful and intelligent animals, so closely intertwined with man-or woman.
