Artist Statement Born in Montreal, I studied communication, cultural studies and political
philosophy in Paris, Montreal and Limoges (France). I started photography
in my early teens and always focused on cityscape 'instantanés' and
structural reconstruction of urban cultural expressions, impressed by the
work of photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray or Serge
Clément. Some of my pictures from a trip in Central and Eastern Europe were
presented at an exhibition show in Montreal (Lion d'Or, 1991). I now work
in international cultural relations, human and social development, and pursue my work as photographer around meetings in foreign cities, most recently in Beijing,
China.
