Lull

Synopsis

Lull is about a hushed escapade, slow travel. The artist Mathilde Magnée combined her passion for horses and the great outdoors and set out on an adventure. Over the course of two long summers, she trekked over more than 1000 km on ex-racehorses giving them a new outlook on life. A photographer from France stepping into foreign territory; the wilderness of the Canterbury and Marlborough regions. A stranger to the land and to the people, she passed through small towns to high country stations. She got lost in the moments of living and let the sun and the moon illuminate her path.
