Untitled, from the Friendly Fire series
Untitled colour photograph by Anna Fox, 1992-1994. Paintball manager wearing animal mask and visored helmet holding radio.
Anna Fox (1961 - present) came to prominence during the 1980s when she began producing colour photographs in a style which became known as subjective documentary.
Influenced by the new colour work that had begun to be produced in the US in the 1970s, Fox's first project, 'Workstations: Office Life in London', chronicled office culture during the time that Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister.
Characterised by harsh flash, and accompanied by satirical captions, this project was a critical look at the aggressive and competitive work politics of the 1980s .
Friendly Fire was undertaken from 1989 – 1994 and documented paint-balling and other weekend war games.
