Amos Gebhardt 'Lovers' at Passage Gallery

Amos Gebhardt's Lovers immerses the viewer in the swirling energy of horses as they negotiate consent and desire during the mating season. Herds of hooves, flicking tails, and outstretched limbs capture a deep, primal communication. This intricate dance of desire and consent offers a rare glimpse into the emotional and relational dynamics of creatures beyond ourselves.

Through this lens, Lovers offers a radical rethinking of the narratives we often take for granted, pushing us to question the frameworks that prioritise human experiences while marginalising others. By focusing on the fluidity of interspecies relationships, Gebhardt removes the dominance of the human-centric view and allows viewers to experience contours outside common human perception.
