About
My practice lies between video, performance and relational
art. My creative process takes its source in the human
relations and explores more particularly the impalpable
of the encounter between oneself and the other. I seek to
find strong symbols within simple actions - walking (Les
marcheurs), kissing (La prière), rowing (Passagère) - from
which I can bring out the essential. The medium of video
allows me to translate a myriad of emotions by emphasizing
the presence, the slowness and the unfolding of truths.
I took care
In Arteles, I took care. I took care of my tense body, it relaxed.
I took care of my concerned mind, it cleared up. I took care of
being a good listener, I improved. I also took care of my joy
which has returned. I relearned to stroll, to create with ease,
to eat with attention. Among this healing, I have collaborated
with my fellow friends artists and started a listening portrait
project dear to my heart which will continue in the years to
come.
