b.1971, Rennes, France Lives in Rennes, France

“My work is haunted by the Real. My intention pursues the emergence of the Absent, whether he is the conscious prisoner of the unconscious, the meaning blurred by nonsense, the sensitive cut by reason, the elsewhere confronted with anchoring. Implicitly, it is a question of alienation and of getting out of this captivity to allow the entry of the Real, which can be this Absent. The inspiration can come from fashion but not exclusively. Fashion as an emanation of the human condition: between spirituality and desire, individuality and society, sensitiveness and rationality, the question of gender.”
