I am a French-German artist working across painting, sound, photography, performance, and writing. My practice focuses on the relationship between image and sound: I work with voice —humain, instrumental, artificial ; recorded, transmitted, translated, imagined — as a material for visual composition. Drawing on testimonies, fragmentary narratives, and field recordings, I create open-ended series that shift between mediums and formats.
I studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in Jean-Luc Vilmouth’s studio, garduating with honors, and worked as Mike Kelley’s assistant in Los Angeles. Since 2001, I have shown my work under my own name, working and collaborating also since and currently in parallel under pseudonyms and group names. I'm a tenured professor in expanded painting at MO.CO. Esba (Montpellier) since 2009, and have been pursuing doctoral research at Aix-Marseille University since 2018. My work is regularly exhibited in France and abroad, and is included in several public and private collections.
It is an honour and a pleasure to be this year's laureate of the Arts & Sciences residency 'Quantum Studio' at UBC, Vancouver:
