His artistic practice focuses on the relationship that is woven between space and time, through the perspective of art and science. He works on architecture, often in extreme environments, considering it as a mirror of the landscape. He observes and interprets the influence and the links that architecture establishes with its surroundings, in a process of identification of the limits that separate and unite these elements. These limits, suspended in an indeterminate space-time, constitute contact zones, real territories to explore.
The direct confrontation: the journey, the desperation, the slowness, the cold, the goal, is the true « script » of his work. Moving images, long-exposure photographs, sound, found or self- produced elements nourish the installations in which he formalizes this discourse.
