This b/w film shows a proud white stallion with a rider, in whose right hand is a flag. An old partisan song can be heard in the background, sung by a woman in a Slavic language. Horse and rider stand stock-still in a hilly landscape. It’s as if they have been frozen on the battlefield, just before or just after the battle has taken place. The only things that move are the fluttering flag, the horse’s mane and the rider’s hair. The rider is not a man however, as one would expect, but Abramovic herself. She does not sit haughtily in the saddle with her chest expanded, as a rider in a classical equestrian statue, but she is somewhat bent over. And the flag she carries with such difficulty is not the proud symbol of her country but a white flag, the sign of submission.
