The Sound of a Wild Horse Galloping into the Distance

Lenka Clayton
2002

From coco- to pea- to something irrecognizably smaller, various nuts are halved, strung, and hung in descending order. "The Sound of a Wild Horse Galloping into the Distance" echoes the quest for the Holy Grail in Monty Python's 1975 film. The visual of this stand-in for sound unwittingly alludes to the film's low budget and crew's solution to actual horse riding, though creating a stand-in with just one type of nut.
