Working on the physicality of the image is the starting point of my projects. I rarely leave a photograph in its original form and like to keep physical marks of interventions, reminding the viewer that art is also a matter of craft. The alterations I make are varied and can take place during development, printing, or scanning. Collage, painting or mordançage are common craft techniques used in my creative process. My primary intention is to create images that claim a poetics of photography in the service of ideas. Inspired by the history of traditional photography and experimental art, I wish to awaken the viewer's interest in the subject through a plasticity that stimulates the eye and activates the imagination. In my work, reality is mixed with fictional narrative and with my own story. The use of fiction and poetry plays an important role in my work in order to propose a new way of accessing reality. Taking the photographic medium out of its conventional use is a way of questioning observable reality and the subjectivity of our gaze. In still or moving images, my works weave reflections on nature, landscape and the human being. Photography has become, for me, a way of questioning the idealistic or even idyllic representations of natural and urban landscapes of our time.
