Photogravure series made 2006-2010
A photographic study of the forms of hunted birds, expanding on the two artists' earlier project about the ancient tradition of hunting in its contemporary incarnation as a sport. In a sequence of images made over four years, the photographers record a bird's struggle to survive: the instant of being struck, the tumbling moment that follows, and finally its earthward fall, subtly commenting on the exploitation and cultural commodification of nature.
