Doldrums, 2008 (on the floor)

Altered Brady snare drums, loudspeaker parts, snare stands, drumsticks

In this work, Sala’s camera documents a solitary horse trapped in the middle of a highway, next to a median strip. The lights of a fast-moving car briefly expose the horse’s famished state, then all is dark again, an action that is repeated several times.
