I am a photographer and film director, living in Paris. I studied filmaking at the University of Montreal and at the Art School of Lausanne (ECAL), Switzerland. My short film ENTRE FRERE ET SOEUR got the Golden Leopard in the FESTIVAL OF LOCARNO, Switzerland, in 1996.
My photographic work explore territories' fiction potential, using collective imagination. When I discover a territory where I feel that stories could happen, I work to express a vision of it, resulting partly from the objective essence of it, and partly from a personal fantasy I've made out of it. In this purpose, I develop photographic disposals to portray the juxtaposition of different levels of narratives (fantasies, dreams, memories...). I do not aim to tell stories with a beginning and an end, but I suggest paper chases and little scenes, in which the spectator can imagine his own drama.
I exhibited my work in particular in Arles, VOIES-OFF, at the MAISON DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE of Toulon, France, at the MUSEE DE L'ELYSEE (projection), Lausanne and in the festival CIRCULATION(S), Paris.
