The Story of a Running Horse (2025) by Shuree Sarantuya is a cyber performance staged on a digital backdrop of a glowing bonfire and an echoing hall. In nomadic tradition, the wisdom of the land is passed down through generations via oral storytelling. However, such performances have become obsolete, replaced by written texts and books. This story is conceptualized from a liminal perspective, intertwining contemporary nomadic identity with ray-traced worlds that resemble the past and future. "The Story of a Running Horse" is inspired by the real-life phenomenon of a running horse, "Guiguul Mori," in which a Mongolian horse runs vast distances to its place of birth.
