Paris, 2004
3 plates of colored glass come to settle on a monochrome mural painting.
The color of the glass and the color of the mural painting mix.
The viewer never sees the true color of the painted wall.
What the viewer sees is neither in the glass nor in the paint.
It only exists in the eye of the viewer.
Glass plans actually projects colored light on the mural painting.
The strength of this projection depends on the ambient light.
This creates very subtle gradients, intangible and totally impossible to do by hand.

Mouans-Sartoux, Concrete Art Center, 2003
The work is composed of a cube and a square black monochrome.
The cube is placed exactly opposite the black paint. The square is
the projection of the cube on the plane of the wall. The cube is made up of 4 faces of diamond frosted glass.
It sits on a white painted canvas. The frosted glass diffuses
the influence of the white paint. The black paint absorbs the diffusion of frosted glass
This reinforces the ghostly appearance of spectators silhouettes projected on the cube faces.
There are no artificial light.

Série A
White on white reproduction
Paris 2002
“Série A” is a white monochrome painting filmed in real time and video projected on itself.
Painting merges with its reproduction. Reproduced White disrupts the white paint.
This produces an visual echo. A Larsen optical effect.
Nothing is white anymore.

Paris 2001
Collection of the City of Paris
2 sheets of colored glass are placed in inclined Plan on a white wall. A yellow glass and blue glass.
The glass projects a yellow colored light on the white wall. The blue glass projects a blue light.
The intensity of the projections depends on the ambient light.
It appears a halo of green light. This color does not exist.
Just look behind the glass plates to realize it. The green halo is not there.
What the viewer sees is neither in the glass nor in the white wall.
It exists only in the eye of the viewer.
The green ray is immaterial and totally impossible to do by hand.

TAPESTRY
Chambord, 2005
350 x 700 cm
Tapestry is a complexion of optical fibers that propagates light. The light is not projected.
Light is woven. The tapestry will vary light intensity to produce the impression of a visual breathing.
The time of this breathing is keyed to that of a little girl Alysée T.

Lycée Victor Hugo de Lunel
Client : Languedoc-Roussillon
Architect : Serge Sanchis
This work is designed as a tribute to Victor Hugo.
It specifically responds to the architecture of Serge Sanchis.
It consists of 2 parts. The first part is a frame made of green yellow neons
which vary in intensity over time. This symbolizes the breath of a child.
This section also serves as a pattern to the second part.
This frame is taken and printed on a film told angular mink.
Blur face, it gives a clear vision aside. This film is applied
to the glass of the front of the building entrance.
The set varies with daylight and night.
Neon lights, digital prints on plastic, glass film.

Gyro
Rouen, 2011
Public order of the city of Rouen
Gyro is composed of two large mirrors sustained by painted concrete walls.
This work specifically meets the landscape and urban qualities of this garden.
The mirrors are disposed face to face at a slight angle.
They reflect the one into the other. The reflections are repeated shifting.
This creates a virtual depth spinning. This depth is more or less important
depending on the ambient brightness. Must be taken into account
colors of dawn and sunset. The garden is bordered by roads,
you can see the night lights of cars passing fugitively
in the depths of mirrors like shooting stars …

Red Cloud is a fully sealed box of red glass. It contains the pure water. Depending on the external temperature, this water evaporates and turns into fogging. A cloud forms. The steam flows over the glass on contact. The accumulated water on the upper portion of the water box drips: it rains. Everything works in a closed circuit.
