My work is very similar with the work of Archeology. I look at the place and try to understand the component , and then the composition. I search for the material and through it understand the history of the space. In the early years, I start to edit kind of fanzine, one copy magazine made of collage and text. My room started to be an Encyclopedia Library of what is possible to find in the street, and the garbage of Paris where very rich of treasure for a creative child. I was not afraid to carry from Opera to La Bastille tones of magazines, .books , piece of woods.....my bag was always full."
My most important influence in term of concept in Art and Philosophy came from the Dadaist and the Situationist.I start writing text and manifests, poetry and collective revue, performance and experimental movies. At the beginning of the 70's i was already in search of the possibility to capture space and time with a little pocket camera, some pencils and a typewriter . I was too young to be involved in events, but i succeed to get in places like the Modern Art Museum of Trocadero, The Grand Palais, The Museum d'Histoire naturelle du Jardin des Plantes, Le Musee des Arts Africains et Oceaniens de la porte Doree.I was curious about anthropology and topography of the City, the Library and the Bookshops where in the .Center of my approach of New Art Models
I was a complete autodidact, and my culture was Mosaic and novice.....I had nobody to ask the way, i made my own path....and my public is universal.
