Where do you now live?: Paris, since 3 years, after have taken my ass in a lot of others french cities.
Where would you most like to live?: Certainely in other big cities like Berlin or New-York but my goal is to have my last rest in Iceland, the country of ice and fire.
Who was your first "hero" in life?: Neil Amstrong, the first man on the moon. When i was a child i dreamed about to be an astronaut.
What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: Sleeping late in the morning, playing with my son in a wild forest, eating a picnic in wet grass with a good red wine bootle.
What is your favorite color?: Black and White !! Like in the Ying & Yang symbol, black always works with white and white always needs black.

All the life day events in the world, the black music (Jamaican Reggae, USA Jazz&Blues, Electronic Music from Detroit...),

Christo, Andy Warhol and all his Factory Friends, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau. And for the young ones, i would say Alexone, Mambo, Dave Kinsey and all the 9th Concept activists.
How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?
Just imagine your city's walls like the pages of a photographic book.
What other talent would most like to have?
I wish i would be able to play music, like piano, drums or any kind of instruments. And perhaps found the brave to write a book.
What do you fear the most?
The Death ! But as said a french humoristic guy called Pierre Desproges : "The Death is certainely the best moment of the life. That's the reason why we keep it for the end !"
What is your greatest ambition?
To feel my life full and not empty at the end of my days and to let something proud to my childrens.
