This project was created in April 2021 as a response to the approach a lot of artists are taking towards NFTs, in essence trying to embrace the sale of things that are technicall not “ownable” into a store of value and an object of speculation. Playing with the idea that if it’s for sale, someone will probably buy it if there is enough hype around it, I created a series of 60 dated images
-10 x a particular day in the past
-10 x a particular time on a particular day in the past
-10 x a particular sound on a particular day in the past
-10 x a particular taste on a particular day in the past
-10 x a particular memory on a particular day in the past
These were all minted on the Tezos blockchain and put up for sale, at unaffordable prices, on the Hicetnunc.xyz marketplace

Mexico is a music video I directed in collaboration with Karlsson Wilker. The record cover (hairy dude) was an outtake from the video.
The Concrete Castle was an utopian project. It's premise was to imagine a perfect house, made of concrete in the most Brutalist style, in which an unhappy couple tries to create rules for a different world.
The participants were
Eleonora Meoni
Anne Apparu
Yann Chevalier
The project was shot at the Confort Moderne in Poitiers, and then shots of the film with drawings on concrete by RIta Ackermann were shown at Art Basel Miami 2005, in Peter Kilchmann's booth.
In between 2000 and 2005 I collaborated with Diane Pernet to create a series of videos exploring the creative and professional aspects of the fashion industry. Some of them were portraits of designers (we called them "Chapels"), others were long form explorations of NY/London/Milan/Paris Fashion weeks (we called those "Fashioned Out!"), others were the same thing in bite-size one minute chunks ("Easy Pieces"). Finally there were the documentaries about the Hyeres Festival, which we did for 3 or 4 years in row,
Diane would usually interview people, and we would sit together and edit for long hours. I would handle all the visuals, graphics, fx etc...And when things needed to be a bit more staged, I would also direct.
In a sense these videos are a great testimony of what Fashion was like in that time.
Produced in Paris, circa 2004
