Summary :
Mort, un Moment was inspired by the suicide of two of my sisters and the fatal cancer of my father.<br /><br />This overwhelming common thread gave birth to a whole that is more enveloping than trying, because there is sweetness in feeling close to the absent being, there is sweetness in soothing a raw, universal reality, by sublimating it in a work.<br /><br />Thanks to digital tools, I work by layers of images and sound to reflect the poetic intertlacing that we create in ourselves when we are immersed in our inner self, anchored to the sensations and visions that we have of a being we miss. The theme is treated with variations: each experience of the disappearance of another is unique, symbolic and always fragmentary. Images turn in a loop and are transformed, like our memories in the moments of fusion with the being that obsesses our thoughts, a state in which it is also ourselves who disappear, a state by which, gradually, we ourselves&nbsp; evolve.<br /><br /><br /> It is a course of reminiscences, flight, lack, awareness and new perceptions to which I invite you, an intermediate space, between conscious and unconscious, where everyone meets beyond culture, in the hidden world of the senses.
