Prefecture, an autobiographical work that testifies to the obstacle course of the one coming from elsewhere.

The stranger is our neighbour, our comrade, our teacher, our co-worker or our companion of life … In difficult times, he might awaken fears and reticence towards him. That time he must look away, shrug his shoulders, become “invisible.”

The project was born between the walls of a building that was in urgent need of structural repairs. An abandoned place, in a tired state.

A narrative in pictures about isolation and time passing. Common elements such as doors, windows and partitions condition everyday life.

” I try to give the character constraints, in order to obtain postures that will tell his story. He, so there he plays with the full and the vacant.
