Aisthesis , Nopoto - l’Ahah Association, Paris 2025

Overview

Aisthesis consists of objects and image-artifacts conceived as supports of memory. By intersecting the materiality of the object with the sensorial dimension of photography, it seeks to create a space where the image becomes a trace, resonating with what connects us to memory.
Presented as part of an exhibition-sale organized by the collective Nopoto at Ahah Association, Cité Griset, the project is part of an approach in which artistic forms converge to question memory and the ways it becomes embodied in things.

Sub-Sun, Faire Image - Galerie Michel Journiac, Paris 2024

Overview

For Faire Image at Galerie Michel Journiac, I conceived Sub Sun as a darkroom, a cave-like space where memory, image, and sound converge. Photographs mounted on sections of display windows enter into dialogue with plexiglass images installed within the space, cutting through and structuring the environment. A sound installation evoking an underground atmosphere extends this immersive experience. Exhibition curated by Virna Gvero and Jade Mahrour.

Ritual Of Light , Festival Rolling Paper - Le BAL, Paris 2023

Overview

Created in 2023, this installation is composed of an accumulation of negatives printed on Rhodoïd, a flexible transparent material originally used in photographic laboratories for analog printing processes. Through this dispositif, the installation reactivates the atmosphere of the darkroom within the exhibition space, re-enacting its gestures, materials, and latent images. Accumulated and projected, the negatives become both fragments of memory and luminous matter, inviting viewers to experience photography as a sensitive and shifting presence.
The work is accompanied by activation sessions involving projections of negative images, such as during the Rolling Paper Festival at Le Bal in 2023, where the installation transformed into a collective space of shared viewing.

L’essentiel c’est qu’on était vivant et qu’on se reverrait, monographie - Treize, Paris 2021

Overview

This photographic and video project draws on the language of documentary to explore a collective of artist-authors occupying vacant spaces, notably the 2,000 m² hangar Le Subaru in Montreuil. The work captures forms of collective life shaped by everyday experience, precarity, and questions of identity. Accompanying the project is a fiction medium-length film in which an illegal party becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of public space.
