SILENCE IS SEXY 1.1
With this device, I place the spectator in the heart of a sensory and
mental experience, which acts directly on its marks. The spectator
meets himself in a stuff y and isolated space (the anechoic room),
a situation which he provoked but does not control. He is in the
wait and the discovery, in a black and restricted space limiting his
movements. Brilliant fl ashes don’t return him the sense of the view
but on the contrary, it is “blinded” by too much light as it is by too
much black.

Working with visuals and sound, my work is about the environment, whether distant
or close. With suspended moments and thresholds to be crossed, it creates a kind of
‘fl oating world’ where the perceived reality suggests another space, other states of
consciousness. I try to create spaces that provoke fantasies by referencing cinema,
literature, science and technology, art and live music.
