The city captivates him, fascinates him, amuses him, but it also shakes him up, troubles him and preoccupies him. He practices street photography everywhere he finds himself. This interest in the urban environment was built up throughout his academic career. It comes first from his training as an architect, then from that of a filmmaker (the city was naively the set by default for first films while waiting for the budget and the studio producer), and then his doctoral thesis on the Interaction between urban and short films of the French New Wave (one of the most urban cinematic currents of all time, and whose fate has been intricately linked to cities). Gradually, he came to the conclusion that to think of the contemporary relationship faced by man in the urban world is downright one of the tests and mission of an artist.
