11.01.2022 Want to know how Abdul-Rahman Abdullah's 'The Hunt (2016)' was created? Check out these amazing WIP pics! "Lying in repose, this work creates an encounter with the familiar image of a dead kangaroo, the animal brings into question the intent of the hunt as an act of vandalism or survival. Isolated from a natural context, The Hunt explores problematic relationships of triumph and guilt inherent to a society that continues to benefit from the proceeds of institutionalised rap...acity. The work recalls memories of ‘roo shooting in the wheat-belt, an Australian rite of passage defined by an implicit sense of violent entitlement over the land and it’s inhabitants." Courtesy of Abdul-Rahman Abdullah Head to his website to learn more: https://abdulrahmanabdullah.com/home.html
