FRAGILE BODY

In my work, sculpture holds a great place, it is in a way that each of my photos begins. Before any video-projection I work, I model the body so that it can reveal all its curves, its forms and its muscles. Then the association of the lights, the body and the video-projection gives us the final work.
 
 
In this series, the sculptural aspect of my work is emphasised both by the bodies chosen and by the motifs projected onto them. The pose of the bodies is inspired by ancient Greek statues which in the collective imagination refer us directly to sculpture. The motifs chosen are a mixture of ancient ceramic marbles. The skin turns into stone, cracks and breaks, between photographs and sculptures the bodies are revealed as if frozen in stone. By playing on his two mediums (sculpture and photography) which have been used to represent reality.
