Personal data

I am visual artist, born in Switzerland (French and Swiss nationalities).
I live and work in Arles, France.

I am a photographer and audiovisual filmmaker, writer of short stories, texts, and novels, and a designer of visual and sound-based works, including Internet fictions, iPad applications, and projects in stereoscopic (relief) reality. I also work through drawing. My practice engages with diverse discursive and aesthetic forms, fostering transversal modes of communication across media.

My work has been exhibited in art centers as well as museums and festivals, including the Rencontres d’Arles (2005 and 2012), the MAC São Paulo (Brazil), the Musée Malraux (France), the MAMAC in Liège (Belgium), and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa (Canada). My work is held in numerous public and private collections, notably the Fonds national d’art contemporain (FNAC) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art Library in New York.

My photographs and audiovisual fictions have been represented by galleries since 1991, both in France and internationally. My monographic publications have been released since 1999 by Filigranes Éditions, Où sont les enfants ?, and Images Plurielles. The galleries that have accompanied my artistic practice over time—listed here in chronological and non-exhaustive order—include Chez Valentin (Paris), Les Filles du Calvaire (Paris), Magda Danysz (Paris–Shanghai), Rutger Brandt (Amsterdam), Dear Gallery (Porto), and Pobeda Gallery (Moscow).

I graduated from the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles in 1994, after studying at the ERG – Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels (third year) and at the École des beaux-arts de Caen (CEAP). I have been teaching in higher education since 2008. For over fifteen years, my pedagogical career has developed within the University of Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 (Visual Arts), the University of Nîmes – Vauban campus (Art and Design), the IUT of Arles (Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia and Internet Professions), and the BTS Photography program with a video specialization in Istres, from undergraduate to master’s level. My teaching combines theoretical inquiry with artistic production.

I teach visual arts history, image analysis, photographic and audiovisual production, drawing, digital retouching, photomontage, and post-production. Alongside this, I regularly lead workshops in higher art schools and supported candidates in the VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience) program at the École nationale supérieure de la photographie for eleven years.

Committed to issues of transmission, inclusion, and access to creative practices, I also lead artistic workshops for children, adolescents, and adults, addressing questions related to childhood and disability.
