Shoot

[squirmelia]

I fired a gun in an art gallery.

That was Wednesday, in the Photographers' Gallery, as part of the Shoot! Existential Photography exhibition. If you hit the target, your photo would be taken. The exhibition had photos of a woman who had been shooting at such targets since the 1930s. There was also a photo of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. I also liked the photos taken with pinhole cameras that had been shot at.

I didn't hit the target.

When I got back to the office, the alarm was going off. "There has been an incident in the building." This was unrelated.

What happened if you shot at and hit the photo of Sartre and de Beauvoir? Inquiring minds etc.

I'm suspecting it might have involved being arrested.

I suppose that could be Art too, in its own way.
