About Me

My photo
My concerns imply that the experience of an event and the reception of an artwork are the very source of an investigation. One could consider my actions as ‘glitches’ in particular situations; hence the works seek to question our ‘position’ as viewers but also as consumers of images. By referencing, combining and appropriating signs and imagery of our historical and popular culture without any hierarchy, I aim to create situations that are ‘bouncing’ between their simulation and their reality in which the viewer can experience an ‘alienating effect’. Therefore through a broad use of media, I try to explore and invent new uses for works, including audio or visual forms of the past.
