Sandy Skoglund: Fox Games
In Sandy Skoglund’s photograph ”Fox Games” everything is in black and white besides about 20 red foxes running rapidly throughout a diner in which and man and woman are trying to enjoy a peaceful dinner. The foxes are a very bright and vibrant red, which makes me automatically think of blood. It seems like the foxes are out for blood and they want too find a way to hurt the people. This is the message that I got from the photograph. I think sandy Skoglund was trying to get across a different message by using red. Red is often used as a representative for such themes as energy, strength, and love. In the photo, an older man and woman are having dinner in the background, so I think that the foxes are a representation of love.
