The Foxes arises from the reexamination of a collection of slides taken in 1973 by Gavin A. Smith, a social anthropologist and the artist’s father. These images were taken during his fieldwork in Huasicancha, a highland village in Peru. While the video touches on Smith’s original work on Peruvian land reform and tactics of peasant rebellion, the work focuses more on the general legibility of photographs. Finally, it describes the reading of images, be they narratives or photographs, as discursive acts.
