Children’s Games is an ongoing archive of urban practices that modernization has excluded from everyday life, as the concept of public space is distorted by the domination of motor vehicles and electronic diversions.The children’s games that Alÿs captures constitute a threatened underground culture that unites generations and crosses borders.Their rules, images and references project a variety of concepts on time and the world and suggest an ancient, potent substrate underlying our shared experience; another reason why we should be concerned with their imminent disappearance.
