About The Work
Relief from Territory was performed by Hunter out in the fields of Kibbutz
Nachshon. It was a process that went on for two hours, twice a day -
sunrise and sunset - during three of the festival's four days. Hunter
delineated a quadrangular "territory" by means of flags. Each
of these became a "station" at which the artist performed
a fixed sequence of acts. These repetitive acts orchestrated memory
and chance, thus generating different compositional realities.
