b. 1959, Antwerp. Lives and works in Mexico City
Francis AlΓΏs(b.1959) was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and has lived and worked in Mexico City since 1986, when he traveled to Mexico for international relief work. He has been working on projects in Iraq since 2016, including the series Children’s Games, which metaphorizes geopolitical issues using children as protagonists. Sandlines, the Story of History (2020) is one of them, which will be presented at the festival. A feature-length fiction film in collaboration with Julien Devaux, the film bridges the past and present as children in a small mountain village in the Mosul region role-play characters of different nationalities and tribes from the region’s past history. After premiering at Sundance Film Festival in 2020, Sandlines, the Story of History will be screened at GIAF23 for the first time in Korea.
Recently, he held a solo exhibition, Children’s Games (MUAC, 2023). He was awarded the BACA-laureate prize in 2010, the EYE Art & Film Prize from EYE Film Museum in 2018. In 2020, he received the Whitechapel Gallery Art Icon Award and the Rolf Schock Prize in Visual Arts. Francis AlΓΏs represented Belgium at the 2022 Venice Biennale.

Francis AlΓΏs was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and has lived and worked in Mexico City since 1986, when he traveled to Mexico for international relief work. Since 2016, he has been working on various projects forming collaborations with regional communities around the world in different continents, such as in South America, North America, and the Middle East. Through his poetic expressions, the artist questions the concept of a nation as the imagined community and reflects what is beyond these boundaries.
Recently, the artist held a solo exhibition, Children’s Games (Museo Universitario Arte ContemporΓ‘neo, Mexico City, 2023) and The Logbook of Gibraltar (Art Sonje Center, Seoul, 2018) in Korea. The artist was awarded the BACA-laureate prize in 2010, the EYE Art & Film Prize from EYE Film Museum in 2018. In 2020, the artist received the Whitechapel Gallery Art Icon Award and the Rolf Schock Prize in Visual Arts. The artist represented Belgium at the 59th Venice Biennale(2022).
