"The film "Mutterfuchsstein" was produced as part of the residency programme medienfrische 2023. The starting point for the film was the Bschlabertal's inhabitants' lascivious memories and experiences with foxes. According to legend, four thousand years ago in China, the wife of the ruler Yu (禹) came from a large family whose ancient beliefs were rooted in the power of the fox. One day, however, the ruler Yu turned into a bear. His wife, however, turned into a stone to protect her son. Two thousand years ago, a widespread belief developed in China that the fox with nine tails was the companion of the patron god, symbolising fertility. This symbolism - embodied as a mountain fire - was staged at the end of the film and linked to a traditional ritual in Tyrol." (Zhengke Sun & Li Jiayi)
