Christian Jankowski's The Hunt (1992/1997) is one of his earliest video works. This piece shows the artist’s one-week supermarket shopping experience during which, with an intention to rebel against modern society and to return to nature, he ‘hunts down’ groceries, shooting each item with a bow and arrow. Through comic incongruities, Jankowski humorously suggests that ‘natural ways’, such as the act of hunting, and capitalist circulation, are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
