Color offsetp rint on Olin Regular Paper 300g/m2, from the series ’ Salam Tristesse ‘ (referring to Françoise Sagan’s book Bonjour Tristesse). Signed on label verso, unnumbered limited edition. Francis Alÿs’ Untitled (Salam Tristesse) (2018/2025) is a color offset print from the series Salam Tristesse, a title that references Françoise Sagan’s novel Bonjour Tristesse. The composition depicts a solitary kneeling figure surrounded by concentric circular lines that spread outward like ripples or a meditative labyrinth. Rendered in muted tones with a soft, almost faded texture, the image evokes introspection, isolation, and emotional stillness. Alÿs often works through simple gestures and poetic imagery to address themes of displacement, vulnerability, and human experience. Here, the circular structure becomes both physical and psychological space, suggesting contemplation, repetition, and the quiet tension between inner thought and the surrounding world.

Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form.
