The Hunt  is Christian Jankowski’s most seminal early project, the first video to encapsulate the conceptual twists and self-reflexive humor that now define his mature practice. The footage captures a segment of Jankowski’s week-long quest to eat only groceries he shoots in the supermarket with a bow and arrow. The Hunt is an excellent complement to Jankowski’s 3-channel video Point of Sale. Incisively direct, the early work reveals the groundwork of the latter project’s more discursive investigation of art, business, and their overlap.
