Statement:
"After nights spent in my bathroom printing pictures, I remember my first experiments, some photographic turns (colorvir process) that allowed an another reading of my photo works, a shift of the image. This was nothing compare to nowadays' possibilities."

The photographic realism must be broken, damaged, used.
My aim is to dismantle the image so as to remodel it to my will, to plastically possess it.

My photography isn't an embodiement of reality but a pictorial gesture.

Série Nuit Américaine
"ces photos sont fortement sous-exposées, seules les lumières violentes aparaissent. La ville se transforme en ligne de force graphiques. NYC photographié en nuit américaine."
