Descripción de la Exposición
Children are the focus of this exhibition that revolves around the thirty video projections of Children’s Games, in which Francis Alÿs (b. 1959 in Antwerp, based in Mexico City) shows playing children from all over the world. For over twenty years, Alÿs has been traveling to places like Congo, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Alaska, and Cuba to film children who are completely immersed in their outdoor playing. While some of the games have long traditions, others have been spontaneously invented by the children in reaction to their surroundings.
Alÿs chose to turn a big space of the museum over to the children of Cologne. Fifty kids between eight and thirteen years old—like the children in the films— will curate a children’s museum. Francis Alÿs is presenting a new film in his Children’s Games series, made with these children from Cologne.
