What is your making process? Do you use other mediums in your practice alongside moving image? If so how to do you see their relationship to your moving image work?

Moving image is at the very base of any of my work. And then I create physical pieces (drawing, prints, sculpture) as extensions of what has been already digitally produced. As the time goes we will inevitably see more and more focus on the virtual, the physical world will be then negotiated as an interface responding to our everyday virtual experience, and not the other way around as it still is now. I think my approach try to question this phenomena. 

Which artists and/or directors are you particularly interested in/ inspired by and why?

I like Yan Fudong. A potent aesthetic.  It’s, also very interesting to experience the way he stages his videos work within an exhibition space context. Director, It depends the day you ask, but today it’s definitely Kubrick.

Which newer artists’ are particularly exciting you in the moving image world at the moment? Is there a an artist who works with moving image should we all know about?

Clement Cogitore,  he is a young ,French and talented artist that has just made is very first film “Ni le ciel ni le terre”. That won’t be the last. Ed Atkins, is more establish but I like the way he constructs an intense and inspiring poetry through digital animation 

 What are you working on currently and do you have any future projects planned?

I am currating and producing a series of exhibition inviting french and english artist to rethink the possiblities of exploration today. Exploration will be think in the context of the « Terra Cognita » where every land has been discovered and every individuals can be geolocalized by a global positionning system The first one will be in Paris in April 2016, the second one in London 25th of June at the London Newcastle Project Space. 

What is your favourite film?

Depends the day you ask, but today is definitely Barry Lyndon.  

In your work you create an ever-changing and revolving virtual space. What attracts you to working with digital animation and what possibilities does it offer to you as an artists?

Well digital animation is most of time a simplification of our reality. I use this mode of communication to highlight some facts and hide others. Things can be heard differently. Plus, the potential of creation and imagination are endless.
