title
MORBIDEZZA
In this new story, designed as a kind of animal herbarium, the external and internal dimensions of the subjects are revealed by the space in which they are wrapped. Indeed, the set design, inspired by the aesthetic avant-garde of the twentieth century, imperceptibly leads the viewer to animals, forcing them to caress their skin …. virtually.
Ironically, between metaphysical balance and bestiality, these images with subtle gradations of color and surreal atmosphere, affecting our innermost fibres, make us face our own brutality.
The photo story is complemented by a video called De Profundis, which allows visitors to immerse themselves in a dimension in which "fantasy flirts with gravity, and even if we don't laugh, there is no more reason to be sad"...
He has presented his work in several renowned group and solo shows like In SOON gallery in Bern, at the Arte Laguna prize in Venice, (where he was awarded by the gallery's price) at the Swiss Photo Awards in zurich, at the Photoforum Pasaquart in Bien.
In 2014 he presents his news works « Flowers » and "Morbidezza" at the B.A.C in Geneva, at the TART Gallery in Zürich. He has a solo show at the SOON Gallery in Zürich.
Since 2014 he has presented his recent works "MORBIDEZZA" and "Flowers for Emily Dickinson" in various places as at the B.A.C in Geneva, at SOON Gallery, at TART and at Art333 Gallery in Zurich, at Under Construction Gallery in Paris, and at Forma Gallery in Lausanne.
In 2017 he has finished his new work "Oeillères" and already had a solo show at the SOON Gallery in Bern, a groupe show at the Satellite Brindeau in Le Havre, and his preparing a solo show at the NeC Gallery in Paris where he's now represented.
He lives and works between France and Switzerland.

entry description
I created this series of still lifes in the same way a perfumer distills a scent, by effortlessly mixing top notes, middle notes and base notes.In this new story, designed as a kind of animal herbarium, the external and internal dimensions of the subjects are revealed by the space in which they are wrapped. Indeed, the set design, inspired by the aesthetic avant-garde of the twentieth century, imperceptibly leads the viewer to animals, forcing them to caress their skin …. virtually.
