Sandy skoglund fox games 1989

You can experience it in many ways. With much of her work, the final product has been a photograph of a meticulously staged installation rather than the actual installation itself. But Fox Games is the installation itself. The Denver Art Museum was the first museum to acquire the installation in addition to the photograph of the installation. In Fox Games , viewers are physically immersed in the work of art as they are able to wander through the installation.

Her artworks often take the ordinary and make it into an almost dreamlike fantasy. In this piece Skoglund submerges the viewers in a completely red environment and incorporates animals into what is normally a setting used strictly by humans. According to Skoglund, the foxes are not experiencing this environment in the same way humans would.

They just experience different levels of height to jump on. Skoglund tries to create multiple meanings for her viewers. This piece could be a statement about how strange the familiar spaces in our lives can be. It might also be a humorous take on our tendency to go through life unaware of the magic in the spaces we move through every day.

The entire restaurant scene is coated in a flat, red paint, while all of the foxes with the exception of one red fox are gray. For some viewers, as their eyes adjust to the all red environment, the gray foxes become a glowing green. Skoglund includes lots of details in the red restaurant scene, which contains about parts.
