As a self-taught French visual artist,
I develop a practice situated at the intersection of performance, sculpture, photography, and video.
I explore disappearance, renewal, and human fragility through the representation of the body, while questioning its liminal states: childhood, birth, and motherhood.
Photography and video play an essential role in this work: they are tools of documentation that inscribe my works in the temporality of the archive and the trace.
My works, conceived as transitory and precarious forms, articulate organic materials and technological
tools, in a tension between appearance and erasure, memory and disappearance.
This video is an archive of the performance of a
newborn baby being abandoned in the Bardenas
desert in Spain. Born on April 16, 2025, the
baby has few rough edges, its skin is smooth,
its limbs are still in the fetal stage, and its body
conforms to the shape of the womb. Its weight
surprises those who welcome it into their arms:
five kilograms of matter with an uncertain
destiny. Scenes from everyday life follow: at the
Belvédère de Belleville, in a Parisian club, at the
flea market on Rue des Martyrs. A discussion
interrupts the narrative: can surrender be a gift,
a solution for those who no longer control their
future? Mistrust of the inexorable renewal of
life sets in, the snake decides to regurgitate its
tail. The journey resumes with the
Mediterranean Sea, the Pyrenees mountains,
blue horizons, and drought. The camera finally
distances itself: the baby is left in the desert,
isolated, extraneous to the sensible world,
without belonging. This baby appears “alone,” a
red spot standing out in the infinity of the
desert, without otherness, as if separated, left
behind. This abandoned baby embodies a
paradoxical form of autochtony: it belongs to
the earth from which it came, but remains
condemned to belong to no “self,” to no subject.
