‘The Eyes of the Fox’, Carmen De Vos, Uitgeverij ander-zijds, 208 pp., 50 euro

The Eyes of the Fox presents a decade of foxy Polaroid photography. A beautiful, voluptuous coffee table Polaroid book designed and published by [ander]-zijds.


"The Belgian art photographer, Carmen De Vos, mingles highbrow etiquette with sly, subversive eroticism. She is a fabricator of Foxy Femmes. a purveyor of exquisite odd photo stories, and the founder and editor-in-chief of the late TicKL-Magazine. Her Polaroids are refreshingly audacious and aesthetically wicked, pushing the viewers beyond the boundaries of ordinary life in a way that makes them do about anything to spend one more hour in that mad land of no rules"
by Amy Heaton

"Every photo by art photographer Carmen De Vos is an act of escapism. In her universe, everything is more stimulating, more sensual, more lush than in our everyday reality. Pregnant women are shamelessly provocative, men crawl unashamedly for women, foxy femmes proudly show off their derrières. For ten years, she captured this shamelessness on Polaroid, using a baroque visual language that is not easily deciphered. All those photos have now been bundled into a luxurious edition. The perfect way to spice up the cold winter days."
