"The Hunt" was one of the first video works by Christian Jankowski, one of today's best‐known German artists. It shows Jankowski in a supermarket armed with bow and arrow, but he does not have to stalk his prey, only to get past the surveillance cameras. He shoots a frozen chicken, butter, bread, toilet paper and other necessities. He will be able to live on this haul for a week. The slain groceries are not just dead, but mass produced. That’s why the cashier is not particularly impressed when Jankowski lays his slain items—still stuck with arrows—on the belt to pay like any other customer. "The Hunt" takes up very primitive instincts that are synthesized in modern society. This work can be interpreted on many levels in terms of consumerism, food, and the technization of society. Jankowski's work includes performative interactions of the artist with actors who are not involved in art. These interactons offer insights into the common notion of art by dealing with many of the prevailing interests in art in contemporary society—concerning lifestyle, psychology, rituals, celebrations, self‐image, competition, mass‐produced goods and luxury articles. In the course of his career, Jankowski has worked with magicians, politicians, newscasters, and members of the Vatican. The context of the interaction and the participants themselves are always given a certain degree of control over how Jankowski's work will develop and the final form it will take. The fact that Jankowski documents these performative collaborations with mass‐media formats such as film, photography, television, and newspapers, to which the contexts in which the works he stages belong, explains the populist appeal of his work.
