Game Over
Lassila Nina
In Game Over, a hunter encounters a deer and receives a message. It is a similar story to that of Hubert, who goes out hunting and encounters a deer with a lit-up cross over its horns. After his vision, Hubert gives up hunting and becomes a pious person. Later he would be canonised as Saint Hubert. Stories and legends about deer appear in almost all cultures. Often a deer is a messenger and in many stories appears as a female figure with one hoof. Deer can also function as a link between people and the underworld. The video is part of a series of works titled Game Over.
