From fifteen years, I developed my practice about four “olfactory” topics: the common goods, the common bodies, the common places and the common fictions.
Now all intertwines into what I call, The Factories of Commons.
Through the embodiment of smells, these performative sculptures produce an unusual but highly engaging encounter with one other (human or non-human).
My work is most of the time site specific so do not hesitate to contact me so as to imagine an new art project together

Based on the impulse of the Agroecology, THE PULSE PROJECT is a global art project that includes a giant sculpture-tool, LA FABRIQUE DE SOL VIVANT. Six gardeners are performing the sculpture. Attached to this sculptural moving crane, they work the soil without crashing it with their foot. Days after days, it produce a long crop plot CARBONE PUISSANCE VERT. The plants of this crop plot are selected to maximize biomass and to design an « gourmand » and scented garden. Seasons after season, this crop plot is harvested to create collective event as the food event FOOD-IN-PULSE that is a gastronomic event based on pulses.
