Synopsis
This immersive publication explores the artistic journey of one of today’s most prominent conceptual artists, with a specific focus on his groundbreaking series, Children's Games.
Whether he’s moving a sand dune in Peru or pushing an enormous ice block through the streets of Mexico City, Francis Alÿs is constantly seeking to decipher complex social, political, and cultural issues in ways that are simultaneously affecting, imaginative and provocative.

It also examines the most recent iteration of his critically acclaimed series Children’s Games, in which he documents children’s games from various cultures around the world.
From whimsical explorations of everyday life to his engagement with cross-cultural contexts from Latin America to North Africa and the Middle East, Alÿs’s work serves as a platform for navigating the world, inviting viewers to engage with the poetic and transformative potential of artistic expression.
