As an architect graduated in France (DPLG) and Germany (Bauhaus Universität Weimar), he worked in Paris for ten years. Since 2002, he devoted himself mainly to live performance, and has collaborated with several directors on about 40 shows, as set designer and/or musician.
In 2004, he founded a company named Le Bruit des Nuages, in which he brings to the stage visual dramaturgies as he is the author (Ça me laisse sans voix, Le Balayeur Céleste, Rétrospective Incomplète d'une Disparition Définitive...). He wants to resolutely anchored them in a scenographic yet hybrid practice, mixing live performance and fine arts.
Since 2016, through the scenography of exhibitions, festive events or monumental installations that he creates in situ, he has been making a shift towards fine arts, from inside (black boxes) to outside, the open air and nature.
There is an undeniable similarity between the undergrowth of a majestic forest and the interior of a cathedral. Trunks and branches unfurl in structures reminiscent of pillars, vaults, ribs and ogives. Historically, forests and cathedrals have always been connected, as the construction of such buildings required enormous quantities of wood.
Cathédrale de Vert (Cathedral of Green) highlights the obvious connection between Rouen, its cathedral, and the numerous surrounding forests. This immersive and contemplative experience invites visitors to take time to observe and commune with the natural environment.
Serving as a plea for nature conservation, this cathedral is raised in honour of the forest, within the forest. The entirely transparent architectural structure celebrates the forest while revealing it, with a porosity that questions and redefines the relationship between architecture and nature. From the inside, Cathédrale de Vert reveals the entirety of its environment; acting merely as the skeleton of a single monument, in symbiosis with the forest.
Over the seasons, the appearance of its outer shell will change, the walls will become covered in greenery, reminiscent of those forgotten forest buildings that nature reclaims. The project becomes an allegory of untamed nature.
