Francis Alys

A STORY OF DECEPTION.
A man pushes a massive block of ice through the streets of Mexico City until it melts to nothing.


Francis Alÿs is a Belgian contemporary artist living in Mexico City. Above are stills from the short movie Paradox of Praxis 1, where Alÿs pushes a block of ice through the streets of Mexico City until it melts; serving as a way to mark time and measure existence.
