HUNTING GROUND, the third volume of PLOT, attempts to connect the search, or quest, to a terrain—what is the place of the hunt? Maps are invented and reinvented. Grounds are geocoded and often contested, by animals, humans, and machines, on digital screens and physical platforms. Here the notion of prey or capture is also explored. It is revealed in the collector’s obsession; whether soils, fossils, bodegas, or data, this gathering reveals a desire to contain and compress a fleeting moment. This issue of PLOT shapes new ways of collectively reconsidering the city, identifying its invented territories and considering its contested ground.
