From that point onward, the fables take on a life of their own. A scene as such as a Volkswagen Beetle struggling up a hill in Tijuana (Rehearsal I, 1999-2001) or a man pushing a block of ice in Mexico City (Paradox of Praxis 1, 1997) can carry a message that resonates far beyond the work’s simple parameters. As the subtitle of his walking piece The Green Line (2004) puts it, ‘Sometimes doing something poetic can become political, and sometimes doing something political can become poetic.’ Note de contenu : Survey by Cuauhtémoc Medina, Interview by Russell Ferguson, Focus by Jean Fisher, Artist's Choice by Augusto Monterroso, Writings by Francis Alÿs Francis Alÿs [texte imprimé] / Cuauhtémoc Medina (1965-....), Auteur ; Russell Ferguson, Auteur ; Jean Fisher (1942-....), Auteur . - London : Phaidon, 2007 . - 1 vol.
