Lina Binkele, Columbia

It is Lina Binkele’s profound understanding of and
fascination with the relationship between humans and
animals that inspire her images of horses. Not only
does she see the horse as one of the most majestic of
creations, she is interested in describing the image of
the horse as the embodiment of a symbolic language
that reveals much about the character of human actions.
Humans ask horses to do many things and be many
things that build upon their instincts – especially their
well-developed social instincts.
Horses understand the nature of dominance and
submission, as do humans. The history of the horse is
the history of mankind. It is Lina Binkele’s intention
to move beyond the mere representation of the horse’s
physical traits and the exploitation of its physical
beauty. Furthermore, she never uses the form of the
horse as a vehicle for humanisation (or dehumanisation). Three Shades Ignite
