When Packham went to photograph them in 2025, it was with the intention of resisting precisely that sort of image.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePackham’s Camargue horse was photographed in a paddock. He chose the most handsome subject, the one least marked by flies and scratches, with the intention of venerating an object rather than capturing a moment. Rendered in infrared, the horse’s pale head takes on the bleached tones of marble. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Humanity’s relationship with horses is perhaps the most important in the history of civilisation,’ Packham says. ‘Travel and trade would not have been possible without them. They have been vital in shaping human culture. So, I had this idea for my Camargue horse to be a sort of homage to the Selene Horse, which is a famous horse-head sculpture among the Elgin Marbles, which were of course taken from the Parthenon.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this exhibition, the image is conceived as a counterweight to the portrait of a buffalo titled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGod of War\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
