Dust
Flowers erupt from dusty, pounded earth beneath the hooves of horses. The horses and riders are borrowed from an image of a competition in Afghanistan, though no clue to their origin remains in the photograph. The flowers protrude from a torn paper print of the altered scene, with dirt scattered on top.
A forlorn posse of miscellaneous bandits from a forgotten Spaghetti Western linger outside a gate, wary of unseen threats. The weather unfolded like a map above is a storm from an Albrecht Durer print, and the fallout of phlox blossoms rains down through the haze.
The rider (Clint Eastwood) gazes across a paper panorama, with disembodied legs from another equine grouping (Central Asian) in an implied garden of thistles and alium. The collage-like effect of grouping real objects and paper clippings from other sources makes a kind of surreal landscape.
Another group of Afghan horsemen stirs up the dust in a show of mock surprise as flowers tear through the cheap blueprint paper on which their ground is printed.
