Ememem, an anonymous French street artist, has been transforming the urban landscape of Lyon and beyond with a unique form of street art known as “lacking”. This process involves repairing fractured sidewalks, pavements, and walls with vibrant tiled mosaics, turning the scars of the city into beautiful artworks. Ememem’s work is not only an aesthetic enhancement but also a poetic statement, reflecting on the history and memory of the city.
Each piece serves as a reminder of the imperfections and the stories they hold, creating a dialogue between the environment and its inhabitants. The artist’s dedication to rejuvenating urban spaces has earned them the nickname “The Pavement Surgeon”, and their work can be discovered at dawn, offering a surprise splash of color and creativity to the early risers exploring the city.
