My photographic practice is interdisciplinary and collaborative. It is characterized by an opening to other disciplines, in particular literature and multimedia, narrative and interactive processes. I have produced photographic exhibitions, net art projects, video installations, as well as a photographic and literary plurimedia fiction with the Montréal-based author Michel Lefebvre. Through an exploration of different narative forms, my work questions the construction o cultural identities, mythologies and territories. I had cofounded the artist-run centre TOPO, dedicated to the creation and presentation of digital art and literature works.
