Prompt for participants: Take a picture of an imaginary orange rabbit.
project statement
In his book Relational Aesthetics, the French art critic Nicolas Bourriaud claims that art is like a shared moment of hallucination; Bourriaud likens art to an imaginary orange rabbit. Taking Bourriaud's assertion as its starting point, Hunting Orange Rabbits asks participants to find or create an orange rabbit of their own, and to bring this imaginary friend to photographic life. Part metaphor for contemporary art, part exercise in imagining, the project aims to bring the imagination of participants alive in image form, to serve as catalysts for discussions about artistic, creative and photographic practice.
