One Minute Trophy Shot
00h01m00s digital video, stereo sound
Shot in post-western videogame Red Dead Redemption 2’s photo mode, time freezes as birds flee the desecrated corpses of two bison; a male voice talks a new hunter through lining up a shot.
“The field presented a critical site of interspecies entanglement - the place where the practical mechanics of taxidermic production began. [...] Most wild animals do not begin to have a recoverable history until their final fatal encounter with humans.” (Jones, K. 2016. “The Rhinoceros and the Chatham Railway: Taxidermy and the Production of Animal Presence in the ‘Great Indoors’”)
