“... Hunting has become my passion. It’s something I can’t get enough of. It’s not like giving birth to my first child, but it’s similar..” - My mother (Danish TV, 2005)
HUN is an answer to my mother's comment, when she once said that hunting your first animal feels the same as giving birth to your first child. HUN is a family project dealing with the complex and invisible bond we build with our family. HUN understands the family as a cosmology, which means everything that is alive that surrounds us. What happens when one of these elements ceases to exist? What happens when a plant or an animal stops breathing?
HUN tells a story about how white, Western societies have structured and shaped the world’s cultural understanding of nature. It is made for us to revisit our own beliefs and biases. HUN means “she” (in Danish). HUNTER means “us”.
