The one hundred and two drawings of the work Pas Perdus (“Lost Footsteps / Not Lost”) were created by Taysir Batniji during wanderings in the city. The artist traced footprints of unknown pedestrians directly off the ground. By rubbing pencil on paper, he recorded the impressions left by people’s shoes on the tarmac. These Pas perdus are tracings of the fleeting presence of the other. Situated on the cusp of appearance and disappearance, they reveal a movement, a step, a life that has passed this way.
