Summary

Photo artist Michael Tummings presents a disquieting series that seeks to capture the engagement of man in nature through the practise of hunting. The repetition of such an act - the act of killing an animal in the wild - links us to our most essential origins as a species. Unflinching, these photographs show the dimension that is human in the ritualised killing of animals. The focus is on authentic, observed moments that have been shaped by tradition and which are still practised in a modern world. "These photographs reflect a European tradition, that of paintings of the hunt, often capturing an elite social group. Exhibition: FotoFest, Houston, USA (6.3.-28.4.2012).
