Présentation

I experiment video-creation as an extension of the photographic image, documenting in sequences the pulse of the action. I have been studying the documentary authenticity as fiction for some years, using memory in this auto-investigation which lies halfway between the real/visual and the staged scene. Silence, sound or absence are present, as is uncommunication.

Regarding drawing, I have been working on inexactitude and disproportion. This has led to a degenerate effect, a result of inconclusive aspect (in the same way a memory is incomplete too), unmeasured and with no meaning in space. For me, a blank piece of paper or canvas are spaces of negotiation.
