The performance _May the Horse Live in Me_ is an attempt at “bioart” and extreme body art in which the animal foreign body, here the horse, is hybridized with the human body by means of an injection of horse blood (plasma). But far from being a fatal intrusion, such as that of the mythological hero Midas, said to have committed suicide by drinking bull’s blood, the idea is to carry out genuine therapeutic research, with the horse blood being made compatible and having a protective effect. For this purpose, Marion Laval-Jeantet has tried out different horse tissue immunoglobulins. The horse immunoglobulins recognize the targeted tissues and induce a functional regulation of these tissues that is specific to them. This ceremony of blood-brotherhood raises a debate on barriers between species and the supposed priority of human over animal concerning the earth’s resources. Will the animal be the future of the human?
This performance in Ljubljana lasted for approximately one hour. It put together Marion, Benoit and the ethologist as well as the horse. It needed ten days’ preparation before the performance to accustom Marion to the horse. The performance constitutes a sort of apex in AOO’s work as it carries both an ethological and biological research and achievement.

A coproduction with Galerie Kapelica, Slovenia and Espace Rurart, France.
Marion Laval-Jeantet and Benoît Mangin (FR) came together in 1991 to form “Art Orienté Objet”. In a collaboration that resembles that between a playwright and a stage director who are in a constant dialogue, they are fascinated by the sciences of life in general and of behavior in particular – from ethology to transcultural psychiatry. During the last 15 years, they have produced several poetic and surprising projects, which resulted from their experiments and reveal our behavior in the face of existence and the environment. Their work takes on various aesthetic forms (installations, objects, videos, and/or photographs) in which we find a familiar animal presence and a staging of their own existence.
