For '20 Horsemen' Wesselo filmed in the steppe landscape of Lesotho. With a ground view, the wind blows harshly as a soft rumble in the distance turns into loud thunder. A group of twenty horsemen gallop towards you, and just nearly pass you with intense speed. The camera, and with it our gaze, turns around. Now we see the horsemen disappear in the intimidating mountain landscape, leaving nothing behind but a trail of dust.
