Time is my main subject.

These creations tend to revisit the different periods of our history by incorporating contemporary elements within old shots.

I found it useful to compare current events and historical content in order to offer a look at our world and its upheavals. These "temporal bugs" invite us to rethink our relationship to ourselves, our relationship to others and question us about our habits.

The works of this project do not deliver a single message, they offer viewers an original reflection on collective memory: "It is not about transmitting a vision, but about touching people through an image".

Some compositions present worrying or tragic situations of our daily life.

For better or for worse, humans are my greatest source of inspiration.

The incorporations are made in color and/or black and white, which completely changes the perception of the work. When I work in color, the information is immediately visible to the viewer, while the black and white invites him to find the various incorporated elements himself, pushing reflection and the spirit of analysis.

Finally, the project aims to highlight these iconographic collections that are too little known to the general public. These documents represent our heritage and are invaluable.
