“The narratives of the world are numberless. Narrative is first and foremost a prodigious variety of genres, themselves distributed amongst different substances - as though any material were fit to receive man’s stories. (…) Narrative is international, trans-historical, trans-cultural: it is simply there, like life itself.”
R. Barthes
These photographs were made in a semi-rural area in Lithuania, which is popular with hunters. ‘The Fox’, as it came to be known, started as a project, which sought to examine the relationship between man and nature. Whilst this remained as a key theme, another arose during the making of the images. Influenced by the idea of hunting, I saw the landscape as a dark playground for a sinister and malevolent game of chase. Exploring these themes through non-linear visual narrative, I deliberately made the assigning of roles ambiguous. In addition to the two characters within the images, the camera represents the presence of a third, which raises the question, who is the hunter, who is the hunted? Maybe the viewer is a fox observing the hunt.
