Carl Tomich is an Australian filmmaker, YouTuber, and performance artist known for his documentary work and his street performance persona, The Neigh Kid Horse.[1] His work focuses on contemporary life, street performance culture, and digital nomadism, and has been compared by media outlets to documentary-led, participatory filmmaking traditions.[2]
Early life and career
[edit]Tomich spent approximately a decade living in Berlin, Germany, where he became involved in the city’s independent filmmaking and street performance scenes.[3] During this period, he developed the street performance persona The Neigh Kid Horse, a busking character featuring a horse-head mask and minimal costume, which he performed in public spaces across Berlin.[1]
The character attracted attention from tourists and local media and is listed as a notable usage example in the Wikipedia article for the horse head mask.[4]
Filmmaking
[edit]Tomich made his directorial debut with the feature-length documentary Busking for Berlin (2014), which documents his attempt to support himself for one year through street performance in Berlin.[2] The film examines public perceptions of busking and street art, presenting performers as artists operating within urban public space.
The documentary received coverage in Australian and international media, including X-Press Magazine and the Berlin-based culture publication iHeartBerlin.[3][5]
In 2024, Tomich released Busk Life, a follow-up documentary focusing on long-term street performance and independent creative survival.[6]
Investigative work and activism
[edit]Tomich has also documented natural disasters in Southeast Asia. In October 2024, VnExpress International profiled him for his coverage of historic flooding in Hanoi caused by Typhoon Yagi, focusing on daily life and community resilience during the event.[7]
His work in Vietnam has centered on community response, urban infrastructure, and the lived experience of environmental disruption.[7]
Performance art
[edit]As The Neigh Kid Horse, Tomich became a recognizable figure within Berlin’s street performance culture, frequently photographed by tourists and featured in local cultural coverage.[3] The persona was often incorporated into his documentary work, functioning as both a subject and a narrative device within his films.
His performances have been described in media coverage as blending street theatre with observational documentary practice.[1]
