Cosmic fish

Water is the sap and the substance of all existence, the source of life, purification and rejuvenation and the […]
Reflections
Commissioned by the “Muséum d’histoire naturelle” in Lyon, France The atmosphere in a natural history museum is often mysterious and sometimes disturbing. Who is the observer? Who is the observed? A strange interaction takes place between the visitor and the exhibited articles. The object reflects our memories and our history, leading us to a reflection […]
Bodywork

From water to light
Project commissioned for the 50th anniversary of EDF, the French electricity board / 1996 Rather than simply depicting the visual reality of the world of hydraulics, my choice as an artist was to use the museum space to create an atmosphere reflecting the sensations of this universe. I focused on workers whose job was “turning […]
