The photographs from the “How to Hunt” series were made of multilayered, manipulated photographs focusing on the ritual of the hunt. An art historical theme known from the cave paintings to the renaissance. The series points to the paradoxical nature of the hunt: being more of a recreational practice than a means to survival. The series won much acclaim for playing with the genre and re-instating it in a modern, specifically photographic context. For the duo, the series also marked a change from a documentary based expression towards an expression allowing the artists to play with the limits and possibilities of the photographic medium.
