This photo shows a person walking on a sidewalk in a city. They’re wearing a long beige coat over blue jeans and sneakers, with their hands tucked inside the coat pockets. Behind them, there’s a storefront with a glass door and some faded posters or signs on the wall. The person’s face is blurred, making them feel like just another passerby in a busy street. The photo has a slightly faded, grainy look, like it’s an old snapshot. Check out Francis Alÿs to see more work like this.
