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.

Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
