Cockroach Diary

Text (in diary form) and colour photographs telling the story of a cockroach invasion in a shared London house where Fox, family and friends were living.
A melodramatic tale which tells more about the dysfunctional relationship between the house sharers than the cockroaches themselves. This project marked the start of Fox’s exploration of autobiographical story telling and her questioning of the power of the camera in documentary practice.
Published by Shoreditch Biennale 2000.
