Alÿs, Francis

Francis Alÿs was born in Antwerp in 1959. He studied architecture and urban planning. In 1986 he moved to Mexico City. During his numerous walks through the capital, he observed and documented daily life in and around this metropolis. It was his encounters with the problems of urbanisation and social unrest that inspired him from 1990 onwards to become a visual artist. He uses the urban space, which he reproduces through performative actions. His media for this include painting, drawing, photography, and video. Public space becomes his material, and his own body, or that of other people, his instrument, which he captures in public spaces. Step by step, he appropriates the social and anthropological dimensions of his environment, almost in a documentary and analytical manner, often in the form of series of works. Over the years, Alÿs has extended his excursions to other urban spaces, documenting London, Jerusalem, Venice, or Havana.

Precise, relevant social and political allusions run through his entire oeuvre. At the same time, these themes are expressed in a poetic ambiguity through his artistic language, so that his œuvre permanently questions the link between artistic, creative, and political intervention.

Francis Alÿs lives and works in Mexico City.
