    “(...)The desire to be a cowboy is first and foremost of an aesthetical nature. It is the desire to wear a hat, boots with spurs, dusty and raunchy trousers as well as the desire to swing your lariat. (...) In the fight with the bull the wannabe-cowboy competes with his beastly counterpart. The fact that is most intriguing about Rodeo is that the outcome is completely pre-determined and predictable: Contrary to the Spanish version of the bullfight – where the bull is condemned to always lose the fight and pay with its life – in the rodeo version the bull will always win and the rider will always lose and fall to the ground. ...Dancing on the back of the bull the rider becomes a hero for a few seconds...” (Excerpt from the exhibition catalogue, written by Andreas Wolf)
