i watched that vid several times. one of my favorite of favorites of his pieces is the action of hiring a dozen people to sweep up garbage in one big pile on a street in mexico city until that pile of trash got too big to move.
alys is becoming a hero to me too. his goofy, wonderful sense of humor, his flaneurism, his love of the urban, especially latin american cities like mexico city which is, i think, THE CITY of the world.

Francis Alys is one of my for-real heroes, Richard. Check out his When Faith Can Move Mountains. Utterly inspiring hopeful/hopeless and great.
