Scarecrows

is a project realized with Hugo Deniau
on the creation of scarecrows.
It has been produced in France in 2016.

I noticed some time ago that scarecrow
no longer exist on fields and vegetable garden.
This by a terrible fact, pesticides and
protection nets now unfortunately replace them.
Being sensitive to environnement an
ecology, and how not to behave today,
We conceived this project by creating scarecrows
by taking inspiration from contemporary fears,
which the world is too often victim.

Totem of Life

is a portrait of a person raised as a sculpture
with their own symbolic objects.

Those objects represents their passion, environment, past,
memories, family and professional activities.
The spectator must imagine the person which is under its Totem.

The project was realized with Gwenaëlle Royer as a set designer.

 Trash

stage a dancer, Alice Martins,
in bulky deposited by private individuals of the city of Paris.

A dancer’s body frozen in a position,
becoming an object among all the objects placed on the pavement,
all marked out for being destroyed.
I was inspired by home’s trashes for their originality and
the way their owners put them on the streets.
These home’s trashes are becoming real short-lived installations.
This project captures ephemeral moments,
the trashes are quickly picked up by garbage trucks or people.
We needed to track them and improvise the scene very quickly and spontaneously,
that’s also the part of the project I really enjoyed.
It was short lived.

Ouïdire

is a photographic, visual and sound project
realized with deaf and hard of hearing, in Paris in 2012.

The photographic series of "frozen sounds" gathers portraits
of deaf and hard of hearing people who shout or
rather seek a cry, theirs, in front of the objective.
