I dunno what that is 

 

"The Nightwatch is a twenty-channel synched video installation displayed on Hanterex monitors, which are configured in a four-by-five arrangement. Each screen displays a static shot of a room within a deserted art gallery. Within these screens the only discernible movement is that of a fox, which wanders between the rooms, moving across the various screens. The fox periodically pauses to explore underneath the benches or rise up on its hind legs to sniff the paintings. The twenty videos play on a loop. The video can be shown as a standalone piece or installed alongside the maps, sketches and notebooks that Alÿs created while developing the work. When shown, this material is displayed in an adjacent vitrine"
