My photographic work, at the crossroads of experimentation and archive, questions what is visible and invisible in the image. I use the inkjet printing, the scanner, as well as various papers — whether compatible or not with the printer — to give a richer and nuanced meaning to my prints.
My work has been exhibited in exhibitions and festivals in France and Europe, at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), at the Maison de la culture du Japon (Paris), at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (Germany), among others. My work has been included in several public collections, such as the Kandinsky Library, Pompidou Centre Documentation and Research Centre – National Museum of Modern Art in Paris, or the Klingspor Museum in Offenbach, Germany.
Formed initially at the Musashino-Bijutsu University of Fine Arts, I was forced to abandon these practices following a long convalescence after cancer. It was during this period that I began to explore photography, first as an escape, then as a true artistic language.
