Nine 9/16 photographs which, when revisited, recall some works of Thomas Mann.

Luxembourg Volume II

Luxembourg Volume II

Over the last twenty years, Luxembourg has emerged as one principal financial centre in Europe. The traditional rural life has given way to an unexpected boom of modern urban development including large expansion of the population, important social transformations and important changes of the urban and rural environment. Still, there is a considerable inertia in the transformations of the society and the environment.

Same trailer, different park

Same trailer, different park

Collection of photographs from Istanbul to Reykjavik. People are the same the world over. Each place is different. I am not interested in capturing the immediately obvious features of those places, but rather in walking around looking for frames and moments that will impart surprise and visual interest to my photographs.

Skatepark Peitruss

Skatepark Peitruss

Luxembourg City built a brand new skatepark in the park of the Peitruss Valley, at the bottom of the Vauban fortress. The project has been designed by the French company Constructo Skatepark Architecture. I had terrific time documenting this project, as I've got to know these easy-going fantastic boys that spend long hours every day in the skatepark and I really enjoyed every minute I spent with them. On the top, it was a good chance to have fantastic sunny days in March and April 2017.

Chapitre II Tiamat

Chapitre II Tiamat

Une narration visuelle de la pièce de théâtre ‘Tiamat’ (2016) de Ian De Toffoli.

L'Homme qui ne retrouvait plus son pays

L'Homme qui ne retrouvait plus son pays

The project is a visual narrative of the theatre play of Ian De Toffoli: ‘The man who could no longer find his home’. In the play, the characters discuss the means of forging a distinct and profound identity. The project similarly explores these means visually, and questions stereotypes and conventions. In the theatre play and the three artworks alike the focus is Luxembourg.

Google Luxembourg

Google Luxembourg

Google earth photos. This is a possibility that is provided by Google Earth. Of course, Google Earth images do not allow the photographer for decisions that otherwise are taken by him i.e. viewpoint, time in terms of moment and light, etc. Nevertheless, they do allow the key decision in photography, which is the frame; it is the photographer who decides the limits of the image, what is in and what is left out.

Venice

Venice

BnW photographs from a winter trip to Venice. An interesting exercise with BnW and a fantastic opportunity to visit Venice in a period other than in August.

Ecotec Differdange

Ecotec Differdange

I made this series of photos of Ecotec Sarl for Etika. Ecotec is a waste treatment and recycling company in Differdange. Etika finances environmental, social and cultural projects and it had an opportunity to promote its activities by exposing photos of some projects in an exhibition at the Luxembourg train station in January 2018.
