In the Horseday project, Heil plays with the fluidity of identity by showing how human bodies transform into horses. This gives every- day objects and clothing a different meaning.
People and horses are inherently connected in language; we wear ponytails and can be dark horses. Within her work, Heil questions the absurdity of daily interaction between man and animal and creates a new perspective of what we can ride. In the pictures, models can be seen riding chairs, each other and fantasy creatures. In this way, with, among others, her friends, ex-boyfriend, neighbours and students Heil creates a world of horses. The work evokes new behaviours, calls for intimacy, and shows how fantasy steps into reality.
