horses don't lie, 2013
installation, performance
weather permitting, 2013. 9 bienal do mercosul, porto alegre, brazil
to create “horses don’t lie” for the 9th bienal, navarro worked together with choreographers from porto alegre in a performance that explores a mode of thinking through mental images that cancel out verbal language and arrive at a trancelike state. this installation presents the attire created for the five dancers that participate in the performance. these attires, which are in part minimal mechanical devises informed by equine anatomy, are less a costume resembling a horse than a kind of human-animal prosthesis.
