Fans of films may find The Nightwatch especially interesting thanks to its engaging atmosphere, visual presentation, and entertainment value.

The Nightwatch documents an action realised by Alÿs in 2004 in which he released a fox into London’s National Portrait Gallery in the middle of the night and used the museum’s CCTV system to follow its movements. The institution was chosen because unlike other institutions it does not conceal its CCTV cameras.
