About The Artwork

series of 28 self-portraits our presence in the virtual world is so or more important that our presence in a physical and sensory world. either by choice or by force of circumstances the transition from one world to the other is something that impacts us; that shapes us. this transition can provoke changes so extreme that we can be completely disfigured and fragmented, almost broken into pieces. this work explores and deepens this theme through an object that captures (or disfigures) the face of those who already live (much) more in the virtual world than in a physical world. it is also a look at the rhythm of this transformation, made by the virtual world: the greater the exposure, the faster and greater the disfigurement?

Multimedia artist. Working primarily with photography and video, my works tend to cross different mediums in the multimedia landscape, from site-specific installations to books, lightboxes or pinhole photography. Something that brings me joy is rediscovering "ancient" or old-fashioned mediums and bring them up-to-date by mixing the subjects of my work with a regular or more updated DSLR camera for example. The question isn't which medium should I use to capture what I want to show to the world; it's more which device allows me to communicate better. Much of my work also utilizes symbolic language that isn't exactly original. In a "society of spectacle" filled with already-seen images, there isn't any originality: just repetitions and hopefully some of my work is a physical and digital manifestation of this feeling.
