The exhibition The Nine-tailed Fox addresses various themes dear to the artist such as Asian mythology and the question of gender. An emblematic creature of Asian mythology, the nine-tail fox is a powerful symbol of animism, love, of the power of women and the whole human race. Legend has it that these creatures left India, crossing Tibet to join China, where, transformed into pernicious givers of bad advice, they had pushed the last emperors of the Qin dynasty to commit iniquities that eventuallycost them their thrones. Their journey also continued into Japan, a country that experienced much political turmoil upon their arrival. For this project, Galaxia follows in the footsteps of these mystical beings through a docu-fiction and an archaeological installation where the visitor can go on the quest for the soul of the nine-tailed fox.
