The Prophet and the Fly includes, in book form and accompanied by texts by Catherine Lampert, Alÿs’s drawings and paintings. Reproductions of small-format canvases that recreate passages from works by Plato, Nietzsche or D. H. Lawrence, among others, as well as pictorial sequences taken from notebooks and sketched, reproduced in facsimile form, which illustrate a work that is at once a metaphor and a condemnation of the reality that surrounds it.
