Synopsis

The work of Francis Al˙s finds place in the interdisciplinary space of art, architecture, and social practice. In Pacing, the Belgian artist drew invisible figures through the public space of post-9/11 Manhattan as a form of imaginary architecture. Although the act itself has no goal, this mode of movement becomes a way in which Al˙s conveys the acts physicality by defining specific tasks that also have certain historical resonances and cultural implications. To use ones steps as a measurement to establish a route between two points is a sentimental mapping of sorts, an intuitive act embodying our representation of the world in relation to sensorial experience.
