In 1997 Belgian artist Francis Alys (b. 1959) created a performance work called "The Loop for InSITE", a biennial group exhibition held in Tijuana, Mexico. Addressing the idea of international borders and the contemporary ease/unease of global travel, Alys' contribution was a journey that started in Tijuana and ended in the nearby border town of San Diego - never, however, crossing the Mexico-U.S. border. The artist instead took the long way, skirting the Pacific rim from Mexico to Panama, Sydney, Bangkok, Vancouver, Los Angeles and finally San Diego. The Loop took Alys one month and five days rather a few minutes - an absurd journey that called attention to Mexico and America's frought attitudes to their shared border. Combining humour, sensitivity and an extremely personal connection to the people and places where he works, Francis Alys often employs the basic human activity of walking to create performances, photo documentation, videos, slide projections and paintings. The artist first came to international attention with a performance work called "Narcotourism" ('NowHere', Lousiana Museum, 1996) in which he walked the city of Copenhagen over the course of seven days, each day under the influence of a different drug. Alys here underlined the wholly personal experience of artmaking, as well as the hyperreal and unnatural experience of contemporary tourism, reducing his travels to completely interiorized, personal 'trips'. A very independent artist belonging to no particular group, Alys' is a unique and truly international voice in today's global art world.

評分Walking ... A kind of resistance
評分相見恨晚阿 | 早期在比利時學習工程,後意大利學習建築,後成為主要活躍於墨西哥的藝術傢,Alys的作品集空間和行為於一體,既童真又有深意,形式感和理念都清奇 | 他說對於“高度理性的社會來說,文藝復興時期需要烏托邦,而我們的時代需要寓言”簡直沒錯 | stroll or "paseos" 是抵抗,是再創造,使植入,是置換,也是藝術本身, 就讓我們齣去走走吧~
評分Sometimes making things leads to nothing.
