Interview
Francis Alys
Francis Alys makes work using a range of processes and his work acknowledges the engagement with the process of making work, and in doing so explores the human condition. Much of his work involves processes that result with a negation of the activity to make it and there is often nothing to show for the labour involved. This reflectivity gives Alys the platform to make the nature of his work deeply political given the context and activity of the work.
