Untitled, 1984

106.7 X 73 inch

Francis Alÿs's Untitled (Hyde Park), 1999 black-and-white photo of a blurred figure in motion along a path in a bare, open park landscape.

Black and white photograph, on matte photo paper mounted to mat board (as issued), the full sheet, S. 13 7/8 x 11 in. (35.2 x 27.9 cm) // Untitled (Hyde Park) by Francis Alÿs, a black-and-white photograph from 1999, captures a fleeting, dynamic moment within the serene setting of London’s Hyde Park. The image shows a solitary figure, slightly blurred in motion, seemingly running or leaping along a winding path that cuts through the open landscape. The background, with bare trees silhouetted against a pale sky, adds a sense of starkness and isolation to the scene. Alÿs often explores themes of movement, solitude, and transient moments in urban spaces, and this photograph reflects those themes by presenting a figure in motion, caught between spaces. The lack of detail on the figure emphasizes anonymity and universality, allowing viewers to project their own interpretations onto the scene. This edition of 10, printed on matte photo paper, invites contemplation on the relationship between place, action, and passage through time.
