Cine Galope (2024) is an immersive cinema-sauna device, conditioning the viewer to assume a four-legged position. It can display one or multiple films simultaneously, with its curation dedicated to the human-animal relationship. Its development flirts with the concept of the "glory hole," bringing the queer darkroom close to the cinema's dark chamber.

The first showcased film, ‘Cavalos que Correm com Homens’ ('Horses Riding with Men') (2024), is a video art piece created by the artist in collaboration with Juan Duarte, who is responsible for the film's soundtrack. Its sonic composition is derived from gay porn videos and AI scenes of galloping horses, both uniquely intertwined by the act of riding. The film poster was developed by Gustavo Paim.
