Paradox of Praxis 1

For more than nine hours, Francis Alÿs pushes a block of ice through the streets of Mexico City until it completely melts.

this has been one of my favourite pieces of performance art for years but id only seen photos, i didnt know thered been a video. i come back to it whenever im feeling a bit useless.
the final shot is very sweet! now that ive started making films in public im thinking differently abt the production process of things like this. so... like that moment.
