The Four Horsemen
Richard Garett
United States
This is a four channel audiovisual piece. Each channel runs independently and on its own time cycle. The images in this work consist of being digitally transferred 16mm treated celluloid. Each channel is subtitled with a portion of the Biblical text of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, found in Chapter Six of the Book of Revelations, which predicted that the horsemen would ride the earth and bring destruction during the Apocalypse. Through processes of deconstruction, the work describes the perception of decay, destruction and the endless notion of reaching the end of the world that manifest in contemporary times.
