The title of the work alludes to the medieval tales of Reynard the Fox, an anthropomorphic fox and cunning trickster. The video is an omnidirectional recording, with multiple cameras mounted on a motion capture actor who mimics the locomotion of a fox while moving through an urban environment. Reynard reverses the logic of motion capture by turning the actorinto the camera operator, creating a distorted depiction of the cityscape. The deadpan trickery of Reynard produces a blurry, unstable image—telling a tale through the shifting lens of moving image technology.
