Sesquières, august 2019. Lead sunshine and excessive temperature, the heat wave is well settled. When I get to the waterhole, I only want one thing: to take a swim! Although stunned by the heat and the blurring of vision, I […]

Huge fans of soccer and beer, the couple had come from the United States as if on a pilgrimage. Three weeks, a time-tracked tour. Barely one or two days per city. Except for the most important ones: London of course, […]

Paris, May 2019. To write one’s first name is to learn how to discipline one’s gesture to mark individuality: AGATHE, ALEX, ANIA, ARYEM, EDEN. To be born in writing in a variety of downstrokes, upstrokes and space between letters, under […]

Marseille, October 2019 The grey grids are familiar, everywhere they are present with their “danger of death” warnings, intended to avoid any intrusion. The power distribution is extremely standardized, not only in terms of frequency and voltage, but also in […]

Paris, October 2016. The Palais de Chaillot is definitely an odd place. This “neoclassical monumentalist” architectural legacy of the interwar period contains number of Nabis and Art Deco works. Most of them have been forgotten and return to their former […]

Marseille, octobre 2019 Day after day, on the way to school, the message is less and less readable. 
The sheets that were glued yesterday are now flying and soon the last ones will leave, leaving behind the grey and empty […]

Arles, July 2019. To obtain a photo is to compose a frame, an exposure, to modify the image whether in silver or digital form, to make a print on a specific paper, in a suitable format, with a frame. To […]

= Kutaisi, September 2019. At first, we did not pay so much attention to the discoloured coin operated amusement machines everywhere in downtown sidewalks. We thought it had been a long time since Space Invaders had escaped from arcade and […]

Paris, May 2019. The thin vehicle quickly became commonplace in our streets: the urban electric scooter at your disposal is the purest liberated mobility. Starting from where you want, going where you wish, by the route of your choice, with […]

Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, May 2019. The invitation card is framed in the kitchen. Witness of a past glory, it has pride of place on the wall above the stove. She had been pacing up and down for years, alone, the roads of […]

Marseilles, June 2019 It started with the noise of the compressor, unexpected in the middle of the afternoon in this quiet street. As it continued, intermittently, we looked out of the window to discover the unique device that caused it, […]

Paris, june 2019. Another escalator out of order! The situation is both embarrassing and commonplace. Luckily, this time the number of steps is not too high, and I’m not loaded. The resulting disturbance is therefore minimal, allowing me to focus […]

Things are now clear: it is not the replacement of humans by robots that is on the horizon of our professional lives, but a shift in work, a reconfiguration of everyone’s places and tasks. We have been coping with automated […]

Marseille, May 2019. The official billboards for election posters appeared a few months ago. They were quickly overwhelmed by the portrait of a putative candidate… in next year’s municipal elections, before the material and symbolic order of electoral competition seemed […]

Paris, March 2019. The Orsay Museum has (finally!) decided to tackle the issue of racism by reassigning a first name and a surname to all the characters in the works in its collection. With diary archives, photos and notebooks, it […]

Toulouse, avril 2018. La première inscription date des années 1980. Petite et inscrite en noir à la bombe, elle est restée seule pendant plusieurs mois, trônant tel un trophée conquis à la barbe des propriétaires. Puis d’autres sont progressivement apparues […]

Marseilles, April 2019 The common parts of the building are usually cold, utilitarian, empty: they are only made to pass by and deliberately avoid any form of personalization. And then, one day, small black, brown, red and white stickers nestled […]

Restlessly staging the transparency of our lives, permanently connected to ensure instantaneous interactions, such is our condition in the contemporary world. The life of others invades us in a uninterrupted image flow. As we are urged to act as permanent […]

Val Thorens, March 2019. Vacationers were surprised to see politics coming in the ski station. She must have had a long time to select a place without any traces of gliding. This recess between two tracks, under the chairlift, seemed […]

Agen, march 2019. The train is entering the station, starting the comings and goings of people who get off and on. The four of them arrive in the carriage together, dressed in the same long navy blue skirt. Two of […]

Oh boy, did they make us laugh, the promoters of those squares bearing cryptic geometric patterns. The revolution they promised seemed so futile, and its advent so unlikely. Come on: sticking these little codes everywhere, from products packaging to walls […]

Montpellier, February 2019. The geriatrician spends several hours a day alone, sitting in front of the screens located in this strange pratice at the very end of the corridor. Using video equipment, she teleports into the nurses’ trolley of dozens […]

Marseille, February 2019 There was a time when the purchase of furniture was made through visits to specialized stores, exchanges with salespeople and a delivery of the chosen table and chairs some time later. Now, the delegation to consumers is […]

Marseilles, January 2019 In cities, it is often forbidden to write on walls, surfaces so welcoming for chalk, bombs, felts or brushes, but regulationally or functionally intended for other uses. And when some violate the rules, it is then necessary […]



 Lille, October 2018 Because it affects citizen identity, requires a lot of organization and traditions are numerous, marriage is a highly scriptural act. There is pell-mell the deposit of a file in town hall, announcements, a wedding gift list, […]

Marseilles, Septembre 2018 The curve kept reappearing on the screen, looking as variable as the numbers accompanying it. Only the timeframe elapsing second after second brought its share of regularity. As soon as they were born, the little humans were […]

In the train between Italy and France, November 2018. The train stopped just before the border to let Police and Customs agents get on. They were squeezed into thick black uniforms. When the train restarted, they passed in the carriages, […]

La Rochelle, december 2017. A pencil, a sheet of paper, and everything is possible. Intuitions can be quickly thrown out, in black and white, during a conversation. Mundane activities acquire a slightly different consistency. Transcribed into lists, the things to […]

Marseilles, November 2018. In debates between video protection advocates and video surveillance critics, it is the argument of (in)effectiveness that seems to be the most decisive. It would prevent crimes, find perpetrators, identify victims… or not. While we know that […]

Paris, April 2018. It is in the first pages of The Second Sex, “Childhood”: one of the founding events that make little girls aware of their difference (the so-called castration anxiety) is the inability to urinate standing. In 2018, there […]

They were fifteen – perhaps twenty – on the platform that day, with their blue vests, paper bundles and pencils. I saw a few of them when I arrived, sitting out of the wind, leaning over what seemed to be […]
