The Hunt #2 was a live art action in which the artist issued an open call for a hunt of an ‘exotic animal’wioth a cash award of CHF 100/-. Six hunters participated. Three of the best photos of each hunter were displayed on Instagram. After much consideration, the Grand Jury, wrote a citation and defined a transparent process through which a winner was chosen on 3rd July 2021. A participation certificate was also given to each hunter.
The performance traces the lineage of contemporary image making to imperialism and colonialism.
