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.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
