New-York, 2024. I don’t know if we need to see a symbol here, whereas it’s a very very mad world… You may also imagine a fight for poetry - or something like that.

No Photoshop, of course not, no IA. Not my style ;-) … Just an observation, with a camera.

Privilege to see my lith-printed photograph from 1998, “Mystères”, used for the official poster of the exhibition by Musée Réattu in Arles, France. Until October 1st 2023.

NEW STEP : COLLAGES

I had these collages in my body and soul for almost 10 years. I finally preserved some precious time to work hard on materializing them. The confinement in 2020, with a strange irony, just extended what has been a voluntary isolation period from October 2019 to early March 2020. Overall, I spent 99% of my time on my collages for 9 months. Necessary time for a delivery, you may say: exactly.

This is the very first collage I presented to an audience for the AVALANZ project on February 29th 2020.

Mixed media, including a cyanotype (2000, with Michele Hicks) and a photograph (2017, with Adam Russell-Jones) - size 92x65cm

Souvenir from my office.

Watercolor 1994 & cyanotype - Carmen Kaas at McQueen - 1997.

Now creating in my studio.

One day at a time.

10 years later : beautiful silver print by Hervé Caté. Leica photography.

APRIL 2019: Angel bowing to Teodor Currentzis, and vice-versa, just after the Requiem by Verdi in Vienna.
