FRANCIS ALYS
"Zocalo, Mexico D.F., Nov 14 1998"
"...I spend a lot of time walking around the city...
The initial concept for a project often emerges during a walk. As an artist, my position is akin to that of a passer-by constantly trying to situate myself in a moving environment.
My work is a succession of notes and guides.
The invention of a language goes together with the invention of a city. Each of my interventions is another fragment of the story that I am inventing, of the city that I am mapping."
