The story
The curators spent three years searching for the most mediocre antelope in the region. They measured coat density, ear angle, and hoof symmetry until they found the duiker who deviated least from the mean. Now it resides in the gallery, standing motionless under the light. Visitors often leave feeling that they have seen something profoundly ordinary, which was precisely the intention of the artist.
The brief
A small duiker stands perfectly still in the center of a pale gray room, illuminated by a single overhead bulb. Its brown coat is an exact median shade, and its expression is one of complete indifference toward the beige wall behind it.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
