At 20, I left the village where I grew up, in the former coal-mining region of northern France.
I went on to live and work in Paris, Phnom Penh, Mexico City and London. In each of these cities, I discovered different ways of collaborating, making and telling stories.
Since then, my work has taken many different forms. I have produced documentaries, photographed places, designed apps, developed websites, led international platforms and imagined AI-powered learning tools.
I do not choose a format out of habit. I first try to understand what the project calls for. What it is trying to convey. Who it is for. What needs to be told, shown, organised or made possible.
Then comes the making. Finding a structure, making editorial choices, bringing the right people together, understanding the technical constraints and getting hands-on with the code, the images or the edit.
What interests me is this continuity between intention and execution. Not separating the way a project is conceived from the way it is built.
I approach digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, as pharmaka1. They are neither neutral tools nor inevitable threats. They are materials to be shaped, questioned and, when necessary, redirected.
Technology is never an end in itself. It earns its place when it helps a project take shape, a story travel or an experience become possible. I am interested in ways of using technology that deepen our presence in the world rather than erode it.
My projects often seek a resonance beyond the digital. I like it when they can leave the screen and take physical form in a book, an exhibition, an installation or an encounter. Their digital form can then extend into a more tangible, shared experience.
