THE LEGEND OF FREEDOM
TOLD BY HORSES
PETROV DEFENSE
It is face down in the snow, about 4 meters from these magnificent animals who accepted my presence under the icy wind of one of the coldest days of this Quebec winter that I have the chance to capture an incredible moment. Everything is there: The proximity allowing me a maximum of details. The wind creating movement in their mane. The lowest possible angle. In front of this northern sky; the pale and the dark face each other, drawn by the dramatic last rays of the day's sun...
... Being a big fan of the game of chess, I had no difficulty finding the name of this piece. The Petrov Defense is a well-known Russian opening where great strain is placed on the black and white horses facing each other from the start of the game. Although the 2 horses have a lot of freedom on the chessboard, little movement leads to victory. While we all regret some choices in our lifetime, we all hope that we do not regret that we misuse our freedom.
This scene is an authentic moment that has not been rigged or instigated, and this is an important aspect of the rules I impose on myself behind my lens. Horses have undoubtedly been the animals most involved in human history over the centuries. They will always remain a symbol of loyalty, nobility but above all of freedom.
