FRANCIS ALŸSCUENTOS PATRIÓTICOS (Patriotic Tales), 1997In collaboration with Rafael OrtegaVideo Still, 25:40 min.!!!
“Patriotic Tales 1997 targets the rut of Mexican politics in other ways. Alÿs leads a circle of sheep around the flagpole in the Zócalo, the ceremonial square and the site of political rallies. The action is based on an event in 1968 when civil servants were paraded in the city to show support for the government, but bleated like sheep to protest their subservience.”*
