What The Fox !

Collected through wanderings on the web, the photographs in the What the Fuck! series come from all over the world. Part personal cabinet of curiosities, part documentary corpus, What the Fox! offers a contemporary vision of amateur photography and questions both the place, function, and sharing of vernacular photography today and the new social relationships it illustrates. On the networks and websites from which these photographs originate, the acronym WTF often precedes content to signify the shock it provokes. This interjection expresses both the incomprehension and the discomfort of the “voyeur” confronted with these images. Their accumulation underscores the frantic race to share “extraordinary” content with an anesthetized public and raises the question of the dilution of meaning.

This new volume focuses on cute (or really WTF!) animals.
