Description
Smollifox is a 42-page publication tracking the clandestine life of urban foxes caught on trail-cam and 35mm film. Through grainy, ghostly images printed in black ink on silver paper, the project documents London foxes navigating spaces that were never designed for them. Untameable, cunning, oddly charismatic and uninvited, the fox has always inhabited a special corner of our imagination, both historically through myth and folklore and presently as an unmovable presence lurking in our gardens and street corners.
Constructed around the concept of nimbyism, (not in my backyard) where nature is continuously fenced out, the project explores human aggression towards city foxes. Smollifox is a story of survival, obsession, and the irony of a species that has no true habitat yet thrives in the spaces we leave behind.
