Tiro al Negro 800 . Estampa Madrid


Tiroalnegropa236696-1

One of the biggest art fairs for prints. It was the perfect place to build a shooting range where you could "customize" your own print. You could customize a print of a black man with a slingshot and 8mm screw nuts. Print customize distance: 8 metres. Or you could choose a brown man (a bit more expensive, of course).

I don't like to explain the setup, as usual. But my gallerist, Iñigo Martinez, wrote some pretty good words:


"The shooter must first choose between two targets, one depicts a Negro and another shows an immigrant from Morocco or any other North-African country. In this way, the shooter puts himself/herself in an uncomfortable position where a critical analysis can be made of what his/her feelings are at the time of choosing and shooting."

hmmmm... cheap weapon! next time ask me! and i can bring my swiss army rifle. the army let me buy it back from them for only 65.- euro. so now it belongs to me and its almost new, because i only did 1/8 of the army time. and its even specially designed so you can use any NATO countries ammunitions. yep!
