Skoglund creates surrealist images by building elaborate sets or tableaux, furnishing them with carefully selected objects, a process of which takes her months to complete. Finally, she photographs the set, complete with actors. The works are characterized by an overwhelming amount of one object and either bright, contrasting colors or a monochromatic color scheme. And this makes her one of the pioneers photographers in the postmodernism movement.
In this picture twenty-two red foxes clamber over the tables and chairs in a dining room, playing, scratching and eating, as a waiter pours wine for a couple dressed in grey. A single grey fox carrying a dead creature in its mouth. The arrangement looks flawless and not even the supports and wires are visible. The picture makes us visualize the hall event in our mind. And this is its success.
