Description:
In Mexico City, Alÿs bought a gun and walked through the streets with it for eleven minutes before being arrested. The next day, he repeated the action, this time with the police's involvement. By presenting documentation of this event alongside footage of its recreation, Alÿs challenges the distinction between reality and artifice. He states that the work explores "how media can distort and dramatize the immediate reality of a moment." – Francis Alÿs, *A Story of Deception*, May 8–August 1, 2011.
