Following last year's successful exhibition Africa | Land of Icons at Christine X Art Gallery, award-winning wildlife photographer Johan Siggesson returns to the gallery with a new body of work. His upcoming exhibition, Horses of Salt and Wind, opens on 18 September and runs until 4 October.
This latest series focuses on the Camargue horses of southern France, an ancient breed that has lived for centuries in harmony with the wetlands of the Rhône delta. Known for their resilience, these white horses are deeply connected to the unique environment of shallow waters, open skies and coastal winds.
Horses of Salt and Wind brings together a collection of Siggesson's black and white fine art photographs, portraying the horses in their natural surroundings. The images capture both the elegance of the animals and the essence of the landscape that shapes them.
Speaking about the exhibition, Siggesson said: "The Camargue horses embody the spirit of freedom, but also the delicate balance between animal and environment. Through this exhibition I want to bring a sense of that connection to Malta, allowing viewers to experience both the power of the horses and the place they inhabit."
The Camargue horses, an ancient breed native to the Rhône delta in southern France, are known for their resilience and deep connection to the wetlands they call home. Through carefully composed fine art photographs, Siggesson presents these animals not only as symbols of beauty and strength but as reflections of the fragile environment in which they live.
Speaking about the exhibition, Siggesson said: "Photographing the Camargue horses was unlike anything I had experienced before. Standing in the water with them, feeling the wind and watching their energy move across the landscape, I realised this was not just about animals but about a whole environment. That is what I want to share in this exhibition."
The exhibition is free to attend, with no registration required. Visitors are welcome throughout the day, with the official opening night on 18 September at 7pm.
