« When I take photographs I often feel like I am on the threshold of intimacy, especially during these moments of "vacancy", these common moments, that represent the most (and least) of my time… Nevertheless, quick, once the pictures are printed and edited, this set of photographs becomes a combination of forms that finds its legitimacy "between" the images. This way of working enables me to go «behind» these photographs and to get close to another field: that of fiction where intimacy shifts to indifference. These photographs, as speech becomes text, slip into a kind of narrative: from a simple diary to a "novel". »
