Golden Horse
Author/s: Marshall Weber, K.Allerslev and C.K.Wilde
Edition: 1
Year: 2004

Inspired by prehistoric iconic cave drawings, Golden Horse graphically re-imagines and reinscribes letterforms as anthropomorphic characters while maintaining both literary and kinetic narrative. In the text the golden horse of the title forms the anchoring metaphor for thought - the neurological processes that result in both cognition and action. Thus a million year history of language is compressed and run forward and backward throughout the accordion fold book. The Golden Horse also counters the Biblical myth of the Golden Calf - representing a positive contemporary manifestation of pagan belief in the co-evolutionary nature shared by humans and other terrestrial species.
