At the end of the 1990s, he proposed a beginning of thesis at the Sorbonne/Paris on monochrome. The dean does not know in which specific field, philosophy, art history or plastic art, his thesis could be supervised.

In 2000, he co-created Images contre nature, an international festival of experimental videos in Marseille. He was curator and programmer. This festival, whose programs are derived from the analysis of the moving image: -animated -space -identity -long - movement -perception -meaning -time, lasted 18 years.

From 1999 to 2022 he created around thirty videos, short and feature films, shown in festivals, museums, TV and exhibitions. Some of these videos were realized with directors, actors, musicians and visual artists. He has received numerous awards.

In 2018, his installation Quadriptych 12.08.02, on entropy, antimatter and string theory was screened at the High School of Art in Aix-en-Provence/France.

From 2019 to 2023, he became a middle and high school physics-chemistry teacher.

Theme of his work: disappearance, color, matter, entropy, antimatter, string theory, improvisation, existentialism; an adventure of audio-visual creation.

SYNOPSIS:

On the footsteps of antimatter, light is thrown in a compulsive roundabout of fractal temporality, an encounter between the image and its anti-image and their disintegration in a sidereal vacuum. Confronted with our desire to push back the frontiers of exploration and knowledge, our human condition undergoes a fatal test. A sensory experience of antimatter on the Tower "La Marseillaise" in a four-day-long cinematographic journal. Second part of the Quadriptych 12.08.02.
