From his early pictorial approach, he moved quickly towards more conceptual objects, and gradually began using photography and video. No medium dominates in this art which weaves links between private and public space and explores questions of identity, displacement, memory, attachment, disappearance, absence, frontiers, exile and traces.
By bringing his personal experience to bear on current events, Batniji sheds light on situations that are culturally and geographically in-between. While his work often reveals a poetic perception of reality, he has never stopped subtly and humorously pointing up the difficulty of constructing one’s identity around a crack, a wound that is as personal as it is shared.
