The Belgian artist Francis Al\u00ffs (b. Antwerp, 1959) makes work that is as multifaceted as it is poetically subversive. Straddling the line between performative conceptual art and community intervention, his films and drawings chart the political and social realities of urban spaces. One of his most imposing long-term projects is\u00a0Children\u2019s Games<\/em>, for which he documents children playing all over the world, from Paris and Mexico City to the Yezidi refugee camp Sharya in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Francis Al\u00ffs \u2013 The Nature of the Game<\/em>\u00a0is the official publication of the Belgian pavilion at the 59th Biennale di Venezia, curated by Hilde Teerlinck. The richly illustrated book contains ideas and sketches he compiled in preparation for the Children\u2019s Games<\/em> series. It lets us glimpse into the engine room of his artistic practice, revealing key elements of his filmic poetics.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n<\/div>\n\n
