Watch Out is a large-scale treasure hunting game deployed in the natural surroundings of Arles. In the Natural Regional Parks of Camargue and Alpilles, collisions with motor vehicles kill many animals every day, including birds, mammals, reptiles and insects. The local government has been encouraging drivers to slow down, but often to no avail. In response, I created a treasure hunt – a temporary scenario to re-establish the line of sight between humans and the surrounding environment. With jewellery designer Ching-Hui Yang (TW/NL), we crafted ten unique pieces based on roadkill discovered in these regions, placing them near the sites where the animals were found. The overall jewellery collection has an estimated market value of over €50,000, and each piece becomes the property of whoever finds it.
