Theater Of War Exhibition at The Running Horse

The Running Horse is hosting a photography exhibition by Emeric Lhuisset.

Lhuisset is a multidisciplinary artist who often travels to conflict zones to create works that question the relationship between contemporary art and geopolitics. Although Lhuisset’s artistic output has always drawn on current events and the war journalist tradition, with the present exhibition, aptly entitled “Theater of War”, Emeric takes his hybrid practice even further.

Between 2011 and 2012, Emeric lived and worked with a group of Iranian Kurds guerilla fighters in their secret training camp to the backdrop of a mountainous topography. What resulted was a series of photographs where the fighters appear in their guerilla garb posing in staged combat scenes inspired by representations of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.
