Sans Papiers portrays the sellers of Eiffel Tower souvenirs in Paris, a contemporary form of neo-slavery within the neoliberal landscape.
The same object - the miniature Eiffel Tower - functions both as symbol of national pride and as a tool of exploitation. Tourism, as a global capitalist machinery, creates a surreal tableau where leisure, precarity, and inequality collide.
The anonymity of the project is not just a stylistic choice but an ethical one. It protects those portrayed while emphasising how systemic structures erase individuality.
Ultimately, Sans Papiers seeks to make visible what is intentionally obscured: the human cost of Paris’s postcard image.
The series has spread in a series of 150 posters around Paris in 2024.
