Walking as an artistic practice
Walking as an artistic practice
This monograph surveys Francis Alÿs’ work across video, painting and drawing, placing walking at the center of a practice that connects art, architecture and social space. Its account ranges from urban routes and territorial borders to everyday rituals, with attention to the geopolitical tensions embedded in the spaces the artist explores. Projects related to Alÿs’ experience in Afghanistan appear alongside the Children’s Games series, where childhood’s imagined spaces meet his broader interest in place. Published alongside his 2021 exhibition at the Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne, the volume also includes essays by art historians and curators.
