TORNADO Extended!
Luhz Press is delighted to share that TORNADO by Jackie Furtado + Jennifer Haare has been extended and will now be on view until February 18, 2026.
The site-specific installation of TORNADO at l’Université Paris Cité accompanies the exhibition of Étienne-Jules Marey at the Musée d’Histoire de la Médecine and was commisioned for PhotoSaintGermain 2025.
Press Release
The invention of the moving image is rooted in Étienne-Jules Marey’s claim that, at full gallop, all four horse hooves leave the ground. Chronophotographic technology developed as a result of Marey’s hypothesis, most notably in Eadweard Muybridge’s ‘The Horse in Motion’. The airborne phase, now called “suspension,” is once again examined in Jackie Furtado and Jennifer Haare’s installation, featuring excerpts from their photobook TORNADO, published by Luhz Press.
This installation at the École de Médecine showcases a procession of images captured by a GoPro suspended from the belly of a horse named Tornado. Through a careful sequence of film stills, TORNADO follows the mustang’s journey in the Sonoran Desert, examining time, motion and its trance-like quality by way of consumer technology.
Evoking motion through fragments of time and image recording failures, the freedom of Tornado is felt in the increasingly unrecognizable image. Hooves and legs warp into elongated forms, the horse’s belly morphs into a darkened landscape, and bits of sand, gravel, and water cloud each image thereafter, rendering pixels like paint.
Through formal experimentation, TORNADO engages with photography’s technological history and questions the medium’s insatiable desire to see, capture, and control.
