His work questions the emotional density of the world and the landscape as a genre that can still bend to the commands of a historical mourning. He invents, through processes of trickery, diversion and infiltration, modes of proximity with places, animals, architectures, gardens or environments veiled by censorship or fleshed out by historical burdens. His multi-disciplinary practice involves painting, video, installation, sculpture, in Situ and performance, invites to touch the surface of the world with a hand that both strokes and knocks. He is a researcher associated with the Institut Acte of the Sorbonne and the ACCRA research team at the University of Strasbourg.
