‘Clay Pigeon’ by Geke Schalkwijk
“Clay Pigeon” traces the evolution of hunting from survival to sport. A prehistoric arrow piercing a clay target bridges the past and present, highlighting how we’ve moved from self-sufficiency to dependence. Once a necessity, hunting is now recreation—revealing our reliance on a system that feeds us yet leaves us vulnerable.

The Artist
Geke Schalkwijk (b.1996) is a contemporary artist from Rotterdam who explores the tension between human instincts and a rapidly evolving world. His concept, ‘Biological Delusion,’ examines how our prehistoric brains struggle to adapt to modern technologies and social structures. While we once hunted for survival, we now navigate a world of control and progress—yet our instincts remain unchanged. Through ancient symbols, materials, and survival techniques, Schalkwijk visualises this conflict, questioning how our primal nature fits into today’s constructed reality.
