Approach
“My installations belong to an environmental and ecological aesthetic. Nature is our cradle and our grave. It offers us the chance to humanise it, to preserve it and to reveal it without seeking to colonise it. Through its boundless spatial dimension, it gives the works their organic and spiritual breath. An inexhaustible source of inspiration, it is the mirror of our human perceptions and embodies our culture, our spiritual and philosophical vision, while allowing us to explore our own identity.”
One series, one theme: water
A source of life, water is ever-present in the landscapes of the Sète coastline. It offers land art what few materials can: transparency, reflection, fluidity, and a creative latitude endlessly transformed by the rhythm of the seasons and the hours. It becomes the medium, the mirror and the accomplice of land art.
“My works, ephemeral by nature, can only be made lasting through the image.”
Water as studio
Conceived in situ, each work is born from the place where it is made; water is the thread running through these images. It redraws the work second after second; each installation is conceived to enter into dialogue with it. Once photographed, it is left to the water, the wind and the time that will let it disappear. Nothing is brought in, nothing is taken away: the installation is a temporary arrangement of what was already there.
No retouching, no montage
All the photographs shown here are taken without retouching or photomontage software. What you see is what was there, before the lens, on that day, at that hour. This constraint is not a dogma: it is a fidelity — to the moment, to the site, and to the announced disappearance of the work.
