HOW TO HUNT

A collection of works by Danish visual artists Trine Søndergaard and Nicolai Howalt. This book is a compilation of their exploration of the theme of hunting. In this long-term collaboration, the two participated in the hunting that takes place every autumn and winter in Denmark, interpreting the ancient ritual of hunting through the lens of their cameras. Hunting, once an act of human instinct and survival, is today considered to be incorporated into the privileged perception of a "good life." This work, "How to Hunt," investigates the relationship between animals, humans, and nature, and reinterprets the scenario of hunting in art history over a thousand years in a contemporary way. This series explores classical and existential themes while developing new creative possibilities for photography to create a transparent boundary between documentary and art.
