"Fox Games" Sandy Skoglund
1989 Cibachrome Print 75x100 cm
Sandy Skoglund is a sculptor, and a photographer. She created the set and the statues. She then has models come in and position themselves in. Red foxes filled up a dining area of a restaurant. The color of the background and the props in the shot are grey and neural. Even the people in the background are wearing neutral grey clothing. If you look really closely you can see a neutral grey colored fox in the center of the picture. There are two light sources, one from behind the camera and another coming from left. The three people don't seem to care about all the chaos with all the foxes in the room. The grey room helps makes the red foxes pop out more, and hides the one grey one. She likes to have one of the animals using camouflage. It is a common thing in her pictures with her made sets.
I selected this picture because you would have to pay closer attention to fully see what was unseen. The subtle way certain things such as the grey fox and the people in the background were not as noticeable as compared to the bright red foxes creating chaos.
