First time exhibition of Alys (b. Belgium, has lived and worked in Mexico since 1986) in Argentina as part of a new program under which different artists produced artworks that will be part of the Malba - Constantini collection. The artist selected the pampa and the Pantagonia desserts to create his artistic chronicle within his line of artistic production: an historical-geographic research, trips, walks, interventions, assessment and recording that included different formats: drawings, photographs, printed documentation and the projection of a film of the dessert road that imitate the hunting of the andus (nandus or rhea) by the Tehuelche Indians, who walked large distances on foot until the prey was exhausted, that is walking as a weapon.
