Interview of the Office for Visual Arts of the French Institute, 2020

Transcending the photographic process, my work takes place in what could be called metaphotography. It articulates around photography through a process of mise en abyme and stratification of the medium image, exploring its corporality through different mediums. The lightness and volatility of the image, as opposed to the inherent gravity of the material, reflect the dynamic of antagonism that embodies my work. Fabric and embroidery have become essential components of my plastic research, allowing me to work the images on different levels of materialization.

Moving from one medium to another, as one would move from one physical state of matter to another, is a way of exploding the image in a moment of transformation, as if it were also a biological matter. I like to enter an image by stretching it into a range of possibilities, breaking it down into different moments or shapes, losing its origin to embrace others. This fluidity is inspired by the perpetual movement of the world, where what Romain Rolland calls “oceanic feeling” is currently more present than ever, this emotion which annihilates temporality and space, and which immerses us in a great whole.
