Quadrillages et bifurcations is, since his arrival in France in 1996, Taysir Batniji's first solo exhibition in a public place in the capital. Mixing, through some fifteen works created between 1996 and today, interiority and experience of the outside, intimacy and urban ordeals, memory, boredom and repetition, time of here and elsewhere, Taysir Batniji offers the public of the Pavillon Carré de Baudouin a stroll with dreamlike accents in Paris, the city where he lived for twenty years.
In turn actor and viewer, the public will travel through a plurality of mediums (drawings, photographs, video, "sculptures" and ready-mades...) and territories where the inner world, the private sphere, mnemonic gestures, urban imprints and evocations of the absent country will intersect.
