									Documentaire Natura 2000 (De slag om Brussel) VPRO 

    In 1982 the Konik, a semi-wild horse of polish origin, was introduced in the Dutch landscapes. 
    The Konik Horse was chosen because of its direct linear derive of the Tarpan. (an extin-
    guished European wild horse). Heck cattle and Konik horses now fill the ecological niches of 
    primeval species that once roamed the deltas and marshland areas. 
    Nature organizations try to breed the horse back to its ancestor, by means of a strict natu-
    ralizing process. Ironically, during this striving to a self-reliant Ecosystem, every horse 
    gets his own name, have to be timid to people passing by and have to meet to all the other 
    behavioral and physical requirements. If they do not, they end up to the slaughterhouse,
    (on your plate or for the lions in the zoo) 
    I photographed 22 Konik horses in the Stadswaard in Nijmegen (the netherlands).
    I approached this subject on purpose in a Utopian visual way; the animal as a part 
    of ‘free’ nature. Contrasting to this, I used all the information I could get about those 
    horses, this all coming together in the book; Konik.(2010)
