It is about the field. It is marked out. The boundary cannot be seen, nothing beyond it may be photographed. Trapped on the field. Where does this boundary come from? It is reminiscent of the way game was hunted in the past: sheets are stretched around three sides of an open area. Riders and dogs drive the game into this area. The animals see the cloth as an insurmountable hurdle – they cannot escape. They are surrounded and shot by the hunters. If one of the animals does escape, it has „slipped through the cracks“ for the hunting party.
