Recovering…
19 February 2012
After a bad accident on the road, I’ll finally manage to print my Wilder Mann book by the end of february. Also back on the road with several new projects.
Folklore breton
31 August 2011
While finishing the Wilder Mann series, I’ve decided to work on a second project connected to Folklorism. Brittany is right next to Normandy, where I live. Read more…
Legion Djibouti
30 May 2011
There’s always the choice to seek new territories. But from my point of view, to be able to walk a step forward, it’s sometime necessary to visit again the space I’ve occupied. The French Foreign Legion has been for my research a real place of experimentation, showing almost every step of my photographic evolution. Read more…
Sinulog Cebu

A short trip to Philippine Island, commissioned by the French Ambassy in Manilla for a project brilliantly curated by Francois Cheval, Director of the Photo Museum of Chalon sur Saone. I decided to work with the Queens of the Sinulog of Cebu Island. Read more…

Assuming a cultural confrontation, a strange forced wedding between several cultures and wondering where I am exactly… as a French artist.
A slow process
22 August 2010
I’ve been working on the Chinese Opera for five years now. After the production of the Lu Qian Ren character, his costume, his story, his performance, I now organize the production of its porcelain… which I think will be the last step of this project. What is the idea of producing this porcelain? I expect it to be one more step real, at least to reach a certain tangibility… I have the Idea of a book title too: “Found Mr Wang”, It will be a story, starting from the Opera series to this porcelain…
