This sculpture-installation extends the Z_dreams series and is part of the broader Crash Test project, a constellation of works born from a traumatic childhood memory: witnessing a car accident on the highway. While Z_dreams functioned as a fragmentary variation around spectral figures generated by artificial intelligence, Goodbye Horses pushes further the physical and material dimension of these mnemonic hallucinations. Here, images produced by AI, interpreting memories, phobias, or indefinable mental visions, are integrated into makeshift sculptural objects: fragments of printed circuit boards, ropes, fluorescent plastics, vivid paint, and rough textures.

The whole forms a kind of fragmented body, like an organic terminal from another world, where digital processes and craftsmanship contaminate one another. The title evokes both a cult countercultural song (Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus) and a form of farewell to the animal figures repressed within our narratives of modernity. The work gives form to these memories filtered through AI, while simultaneously estranging them: what was once intimate becomes fictional, almost extraterrestrial.

A visual language emerges from these hybridizations, primitive marks, obsolete interfaces, technoid fetishes. The gestures of drawing, assembling, screwing, and bending these elements become an attempt to reclaim what automated images reveal, as if the body were reasserting control over its own ghosts.
