The exhibition reflects here on a moment when history seems to echo itself. The central work in the show entitled Just in case was created in 2024 and premiered at the Biennale de Lyon. Using an object that often comes back in various forms in Batniji’s practice, the installation presents a series of images of keys, belonging to residents of Gaza, with each set connected to a specific place and person through the handwritten captions under the photographs. Capturing traces of lost, abandoned, or destroyed lives and homes, the work evokes the universal woes of the human condition.
