After my studies of Visual Arts at University of Arts and at the school of Photography in Paris (France), i based my experimentation and my research on the photographic support. What there is behind and inside, practicly and theoretically. The interest of the latent light sent me on a research of a none support for the photographic pictures and i started to manipulate their structures.
The first photographic iceblock was born.
I started to work about relationship between photography and memory. We are living on the idea that the photography keeps the memory, at least we use it like this because we are scared by the dissapearance. We believe on the ability of the photography to protect the memory against time. We are afraid to disaapear without keeping and living any tracks.
Therefore we take pictures.
The photographic memory is not anymore our memory, we don't own it anymore, it doesn't lives anymore. The photography has fixed this instant. Finally we live our memory by the pictures. people froze their mind in the memory with an illusion of reality, with the photographic facsimile, because they are scared to lose it.

I believe that the memory should live in our mind and dissapear.
Then i suggest to conserve the memory, much more than any photographs could intends to, by freezing the photographs into the ice. I'm working of an extrem conservation, which confines the photography into a strong symbols of eternity, protected from time. I'm working by doing installation of ice and photography, producing some photographic iceblocks or cryogenic pictures. I overstate the illusion given by the photography. I'm working on an ice sarcophagus for photography, one step back to my own archeology of ice and memory.
Finally it's absolutly useless.
Although the picture is frozen into the ice, fixed and conserved, at the same time it's completly destroyed by the process, organic and perishable. I'm not using any paper, but a gelatine layer. Then i conserve it for a better destruction, loss and new perception. It's now ready to melt totally and live again.
I turn the photography to a perishable statement and release the memory into a life time.

I believe that nothing is done to stay, we should not try to keep what belongs to the natural way of life, i mean that every thing is living and, by that, is going to die and dissapear one day. I'm working on the fact that we are going against the base of life by trying to keep the memory, we are making an obstacle to his own life.
I'm working also on the fact that the light has a double power. As well as being necessary for the life and making things alive, it also destroys things and bring them to the death.
Actually the light is one energy which erase the things. The light is going outside of the things which makes them visible and at the same time they run out of energy, and makes them dissapear, because this is how the life is. Nothing is done to stay.
By trying to keep the memory odf somebody, we actually stop his possibilities to change, we stuck the memory of this person in one view. We create a double of this person to could go back to that when we wnat, for example, with the photography. As Freud said, by making a kind of copy, we create a double to prevent energetically the power of the death, but this facsimile, instead of keeping somethings, is annoncing the death, and bringing it closer.
I'm going further in that way with my cryogenic conservation which is extrem, to put into relief this excessiv illusion that gives the photography. My extrem conservation gives this feeling that it's protected, but finally it's completly the opposite.

My work is also inspired by thw water or the fluid cycle, the one of the earth, the one where we came from, the mother body, the pur element, the nutritious element and necessary, the deep water, the mood element for the biologic way. A lot of portraits or body pictures i took has been made under the water. The shooting is underwater. Then the behaviour of the person is fully diffrent, and the light is very special. It's the deepest way to feel our body, it's a slow dance bringing us into our deepest being. Then the cycles continues when i froze the pictures into the ice and follows by the melt of the iceblock and the photographs, going back to a new beginning.
