Since 2002, I drown the photographs which I assemble under the colour red then I engrave on the photographs lines with a knife. The squaring often appears. But the engraving of photography can also underline forms, shades and lights, colours. The red colour transforms the image, giving it an unreal aspect, becomes a drawing. The squaring completes the transformation of the image photographed into a new support. The reference changes, alters. The inanimate subject comes to life.

In the course of my experiments and my various work, I am interested more and more in disappearance. The disappearance of the image at the moment when it never was so present. I make it disappear. My studies in History haunt me and arise more and more in my work. The History joines disappearance in my work on photography.
