Several aspects of the work I have been developing over 15 years are included here:

The coast is the end of land and the beginning of the in nite. It is an intermediary zone where the imagination is free to wander, meditate or contemplate. The wild and pitiless waterline of the ocean produces a fascinating tension.

Photographs taken with a scanner transformed into a camera. Series begun in 2003.
The scanograms are like paintings: tangible results of manipulating the scanner as a photographic machine. The intention is transfigurative: between photography and painting.

Analogue development of photos taken by various digital means: telephone, compact or SLR. These images are assembled in pairs when a dialogue spontaneously occurs or a new perspective emerges: in the in-between...

Travail photographique en argentique-Année 2000

As my mastery of the process increased I began to stick my objects in my favourite museums, as long as I could nd the dark zone necessary for my superimpositions: parasites of this touristic cultural activity become so hostile.

-"Trashpram.com" is a comic web site about kids’ pushchairs in urban space. Since 2010

A ballet of human reproduction as an unconscious mechanism, a sort of contribution made by individuals to a society ravenous for merchandise, both infantilizing and amnesiac.

- Filmmaking in different registers. Cinema marks my oeuvre since 1995.
