how does this all deeply affect our muddled attention span?

Over 3 Monday evenings, you’ll experience what it means to make an image slowly - as every shot demands attention, patience, and intention.

drawing attention to the connection between personal interspecies bonds and larger symbolic, cosmological systems….

As horses and humans grow together, horses also become a measure of time and mark the milestone events of a person’s life. While the mutual human-horse bond was shared by the community overall, tattoos mark skin, or the very “interface” between individual bodies and the world,

horse riding was seen as an apprenticeship in learning the language of horses, and experienced horses continue to be seen in Eurasian equestrianism as “schoolmasters” that bring their individualized techniques to train riders.

the vulnerable ritual of receiving the tattoo, new attitudes and beliefs that it imbues on the individual, and its intentional preservation long after other body parts have disintegrated. In “Inked: Human-Horse Apprenticeship, Tattoos, and Time in the Pazyryk World,”Gala Argent emphasizes that

This may be surprising considering that they almost never revealed skin in public. As something literally carved into the skin, these elaborate designs suggest the relationships that can be created through embodied attention even when they are not intended to be appreciated in public:

A tribe that inhabited the Altai Mountains of Siberia, the Pazyryks maintained a lifelong bond to horses that was crucial to their nomadic lifestyle and trading — so much that horses are found on tattooed mummies dated to the Iron Age (6th to 3rd centuries BC).

Like the phrase “SILENCE=DEATH,” the symbol is also at once specific and universal, originating from the pink triangle gay prisoners in Nazi camps were forced to wear and later reappropriated by gay activists in the 1970s.

Through a collaborative process lasting nine months, the artists came to the consensus that an abstract symbol would be more inclusive than the depiction of specific places and figures.

The bold, urgent, color contrast between black, white, and dark pink would have jumped out from a sea of wheat-pasted posters in NY. The simplicity and directness of the design is key to its ability to both grab attention from afar and sustain it by drawing viewers closer to read the fine print.

While the impact of grassroots initiatives in raising awareness and changing public policy on HIV/AIDS is now widely recognized, posters like this one were crucial in converting attention into action by catalyzing the formation of groups like AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP).
