Life and work

He studied cinema but soon turned to photography.

In 1995 he joined the documentary unit of the European television channel Arte in Paris, where he was responsible for creative author film development until 2015.[2][3][4][5] He produced films by filmmakers such as Chris Marker, Alexandre Sokourov, Naomi Kawase, Chantal Akerman, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tsai Ming-liang, Laurie Anderson.[6] He is the author for Arte of Collection Photo, 12 documentaries on the history of photography from its origins to today with the scientific collaboration of Quentin Bajac.[7]

Since 2002 he has been working in photography exclusively through appropriation and rereading of amateur images and industrial documents. His work is also expressed through several author's books. Parr and Badger include Surrogates (2012) in the third volume of their photobook history. They write: "In Surrogates, he has taken as his source imagery spare parts for vintage cars available for sale on eBay. He then retouches and greatly enlarges them, presenting them on plain or colour-field backgrounds so that they become re-contextualized as formal images, stripped from their former function".[8] Private/Used (2013) is a book of photographs of women in lingerie, selling their used underwear on eBay.[9] Mask (2015) is a collection of grilles of cars made in Detroit between 1955 and 1962.[9]
