Stefanie Bálint-Gruber — I will never be as fast as a horse :(

Just (A Lot) Of Money — Summer 2025

The work 'I will never be as fast as a horse' explores the feeling of never being good enough, and the persistent attachment to unattainable ideals. Drawing inspiration from horse racing, particularly the man versus horse race, the sculpture’s form language references horse bits. An integrated cooling system causes droplets of "sweat" to form on the sculpture's surface, matching those seen in the accompanying video.
