In 2007 I made a double intervention in the Documenta Kassel: 1) I took red poppies
from the art work of Sanja Ivekovic: "Poppy Field" and I have extracted the DNA from them.
A month later I have disolved the frozen DNA in water where were living water-worms

Primordial Hunters


Videoart by Marcello Mercado, 2004
Cape Town, Southafrica, 2004: I can look on the hunters in the distance.
The sun-light, the handler and the dogs. The suppression of distance.
To escape, to copulate to eat. The species classification is dissected.
The strategy of food procurement and food storing. The hunter is in tune
with the prey. Tiny grains of sounds. To disable or to kill.
The victim's heads: Stay tuned! and today the challenging words are :
behavioral, carnivorous, insects, velocity!
