Trajectographies starts from the gap between the reality and the map of the city. I asked seven inhabitants of the Brussels community Schaarbeek, to draw their daily routes through the neighbourhood and to take pictures along the way.
Trajectographies is stop motion map of these seven ‘routines’. A map of seven people not acquainted with each other. A map of seven paths crossing daily.
“Le quartier se définit comme une organisation collective de trajectoires individuelles;
il est la mise à disposition, pour ses usagers, de lieux ‘à proximité’ dans lesquels ceux-ci
se rencontrent nécessairement pour subvenir à leurs besoins quotidiens.”
Pierre Mayol
