The Last Wild Horses Of Death Valley

I was filming in Death Valley Junction, seeking an empty landscape, when I gained an audience. It turned out I was filming in the territory of the last herd of wild horses in Death Valley, and possibly the whole of California. We watched each other for upwards of 20 minutes, although I ran out of tape after about 10 minutes. This piece is best watched, accompanied by your favourite horse themed music. My preference is to fade in ‘The Last Ride Back to KC’ by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis from the soundtrack album of the film ‘The Assassination of Jesse James’, at around 02m 05s 03f. Copyright restrictions prevent me from using it on Youtube.

Hardly a work of art, the piece is more of a contemplation of inter-species observation.
