A traditional animation handdrawn in 500 frames which are also on display as part of the installation The animation consists solely of a shoe shine hands move a length of cloth around and across a shoe syncopated with a minimalistic melody and lyrics written by the artist Its swaying repetitive quality draws the audience into a simple and elegant comparison of artistic labor in the form of drawing to the marginalized service economy of a global city
DirectorFrancis Alÿs
