Description
The expressions and contortions of the horses on a carousel bring feelings of agony and despair in this series of Carousel of Despair. Processed with a strong black and white film noir contrast.
Even as a child I would not ride a carousel, as the horses always appeared to be locked in a state of discomfort. I have ridden on a carousel as an adult with my own children only to feel disturbed and uncomfortable with all these suffering animals surrounding me.

This series is so cool... I'm taken back to noir-TV of the 1960s such as The Twilight Zone or Night Gallery.
