Presentation of my work

You will always find in my works the decision to communicate directly to the public in a simple way. Art has to be generous.

There are too many people that do not know anything about contemporary art. I would like art to be closer to a larger public. It has to escape from institutions such as museums or galleries, to show that it can exist without them, in an independant way.

The public space is a unique place on which most of the social life of our society concentrates. To install artworks in the street is a good way to touch all of us in our everyday life, to touch people’s sensitivity differently.

It's also a logical place to install my works because often their theme is the urban space itself: its evolution, its impact on our attitude, how it reflects our culture, our identity... Thanks to installations or actions, I try to create situations that help people to consider their everyday life spaces differently, giving them some critical points of view.

Sometimes, I do not present myself as an artist but as a common girl, an anonymous person that is just taking time and energy for the street and for the others. It’s a way to react against individual passivity and show that to act is possible, that each of us could do things too.

I need to walk around towns and in the countryside. And for my work to be well-founded, I am used to spend a lot of time observing the urban space and meeting people. I learn about history, political decisions, local social situation... I have developed a large curiosity to discover other countries, to look at different styles of architecture, how people are living in their home depending on their tradition. It’s a way to learn about my own culture and to understand it better. All this helps me to create each time a new specific piece of art.
