With all my heart, I kiss you (2012-15)

Verdun est une bataille.
Verdun est une ville de 20 000 habitants dans le nord-est de la France.
Verdun est un champ de bataille.

The battle becomes a case of study taking the form of an installation where different geographical and historical points are connected to each other.
This works aim to explore the representation of conflicts and wars. It questions the ability of the photographic medium to represent tragic events. This installation is composed of various pieces and materials: still and moving images made by myself, objects and archive materials, such as aerial reconnaissance tactical images taken between 1915 and 1917 and found postcards.
Furthermore, the triviality is persistent in all the works. There is nothing to see but everything could be thought. It’s less about the experience of war than about ways of looking.
Then, an image - by being reused and reinterpreted in interaction with the others pieces - creates meaning for other possibilities for war representation.
