Lorenzo De Bellis – I furnished the den and it seems to have turned out well

by Lorenzo De Bellis

The fox serves a dual role: a trickster and a symbol of guidance and protection. Initially introduced through a documentary S. watches on TV, the fox is featured in a fox hunting documentary where it is hunted and ultimately is killed. Images from this documentary are taken and projected on panels, forming a sort of theatrical scenography. The realm is the one of the horror. The tryptic is composed of three images representing the hunting scene and developed on the wooden panels using a photosensitive emulsion. The killing of the fox represents the prelude which is simultaneously a foreshadowing. The starting point of the project is a script, which is then used as a score to compose and create the work.
