Fox and Otter
0.00 4 minutes The early 20th century fable “The Fox and the Otter,” from the Historia y Conocimiento Oral Mapuche: Sobrevivientes de la campaña del desierto y ocupación de la Araucanía (1899–1926), tells the story of a homoerotic relationship between two animals – a fox and an otter, both males – where anal penetration is seen as an offense to masculinity. This 3D animated video proposes a new version of the fable, where its protagonist is a transgender vixen who, by means of its charms, achieves to attract the otter, unsettling colonial constructions about desire and heterosexuality and allowing to break these paradigms and create new cosmologies.
