Francis Alys's work is engaging and humorous. I was particularly drawn to his piece 'Re-enactment' which consisted of two videos shown side by side, on the left the original footage of Francis purchasing a gun and walking through the streets of Mexico until he is arrested, and on the right a sensationalised re-enactment of the event.
Much of Francis's work consists of video pieces, and despite my issues with motion sickness combined with his shaky camera footage I did really enjoy the exhibition even though much of the time was spent fighting the waves of nausea.
