Horse Mask

A man with a completely realistic horse head lies casually on a mustard yellow velvet sofa, one arm folded behind his head, holding an open magazine in the other hand. He slowly turns a page with natural human fingers, horse head tilting slightly downward — deeply focused, completely unbothered. Then, as if sensing the camera, he slowly turns his massive horse head directly toward the lens — one long pause, large dark eye staring straight into the camera, expression unreadable. Holds the stare for two full beats. Then turns back to the magazine without a word. Continues reading. As if nothing happened. Magazines and books scattered on the jute rug stay still. Warm golden indoor light. Patterned tile wall unchanged. Cinematic shallow depth of field. Deadpan surreal — the horse head is treated as completely, utterly normal
