How to Hunt
How to Hunt is a fascinating study of hunting. In color photographs Trine Søndergaard and Nicolai Howalt describe the encounter of man, nature and animal.
Once hunting was a basic act of survival. Today it is a staged activity repeating the original conditions of man - practiced as a hobby within a civilized framework.
The continuing topicality of hunting is the theme of Søndergaard and Howalt. During the last year they have taken part in various hunts around Denmark.

How to Hunt balances between fascinated studies of the phenomenon of hunting on the one hand, and a series of beautiful landscapes heralding back to Romanticism on the other.
A series of the photographs consists of multiple exposures digitally interwoven to show an entire hunt in a single image.
In this way How to Hunt display tableaux that are compositional and temporal concentrates of contemporary hunting sceneries.
