Kevin Horan: Chattel

If the photographer’s ungulate neighbors came to the studio and asked to have their portraits made, this is what would happen. Treated as portrait subjects, they seem to have personalities. Perhaps they do, and the photograph allows us to see them. Or perhaps the language of the photo cues us to generate the impression of a personage. One wonders if…
