Borrowing from biological mechanisms my work articulates itself organically and grows out of the concept of life as an evolutionary process, from its origin to its hypothetical future. Using the human body as a starting point for multi-disciplinary experiments [drawing, sculpture, video, digital manipulations] my process mimics speciation in natural selection: several new bodies of work branch off from one common ancestor to eventually give rise to their own distinct line. Analog and digital media  intertwine to create imaginary microcosms, hybrid creatures. The organic-digital occurrences become an intuitive ontology of the species, an inventory of modified life forms, fantastical remnants of species that could have been.


    Born in Paris, I migrated to Los Angeles in 1991 where I currently live and work. Recipient of a Durfee Arc Grant in 2004, my video installations have been presented at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Orange County Center for the Arts, Glendale Brand Galleries, Cal State Fullerton Art Center.

A parallel body of work that integrates writing and deconstructed narration lead to the production of experimental short films that have been screened in festivals in Europe, the Middle East and North America. In Los Angeles, I have collaborated with musicians A. Perich & D. Day [Ockham’s Razor]  to create dynamic audio-visual scapes, and participated in several staged pieces performed by duo shape shifters osseus labyrint.
