By mixing photography, installation and performance, I use light, space and time to
question our presence and explore the mechanisms of spatial, visual, audible and kinetic
perception.
Installations with lights that give birth to colour – fundamental elements of image
creation – are ways to appeal to spatial and sensory perception. How to create an image
otherwise, how does it make our image of the world? I bring interest to the synesthesia
phenomenon that I try to give shape.
I use a camera obscura device made from recycled cans, with a long exposure time (1 to
9 months) to transcribe my observations of the places that I invest, explore the duration
and awareness of time. As each observation is a unique experience, the prints and
installations find their place and form in the exhibition space, which is also unique.
In addition, I am interested in language, semantic listening and reduced listening. My
performances, often exploring spatial, auditory or kinetic perception, propose another
scale of temporality of human experience.
