  Seed shooting | 2012

The performance is an example of how a situation can be transformed by the use of a weapon. The idea for the performance came in the summer of 2011 during a game called Sporogame for a workshop in Liběchov. I placed a simple weapon – a blowpipe – on a hill so that people could fire seeds into the surrounding landscape. The principle of this activity was to insert seeds into the blowpipe instead of projectiles. I consulted the process of changing the projectiles with a gunmaker and I asked a huntsman if he could change his position of a hunter by changing the use of his weapon. By shooting seeds the weapon becomes a means of giving birth to new life. This changes the actual purpose of the weapon.
