    2nd Place in Fine Art

This series questions the defense mechanism of a world imprisoned by its nights. Populated by individuals, human limbs, felled trees and broken moulds, this world is a prison space in which its inhabitants convulsively wait. Even petrified, they await the moment of their metamorphosis. As man is not a self-contained entity, he is naturally caught up in the chaos of an open, infinite universe, in which finding one's place remains everyone's struggle. The human body is subject to the movements of this ordeal.

Born in 1973, France. Since 2000 he has written, produced, shot, and edited short films and videos. Screened in more than 50 countries, several of the films have been awarded prizes. He composed the music for the feature film Should the Wind Drop (Official Selection — Festival de Cannes 2020) and became involved with photography in 2021.
