The cosmic Caravan G.S 3000, 2024
Gilberte, the Cosmic Caravan G.S. 3000, is an immersive installation produced in collaboration with Guillaume Milochau that re-contextualizes a family caravan into a mobile sensory laboratory. The installation invites the public to become participants in a still odyssey through constantly evolving soundscapes and visual terrains.

installation
The hidden secret of the masters, 2021
The installation broadcasts a concrete music
symphony on speakers, addressed to a rock, while it is necessary to seize a curious earpiece to hear the story told of it. I use snippets of intimate memories to compose this first sound work: a parabolic text on pedagogy written at the Beaux-Arts de
Nantes in 2011, as well as objects gleaned and preserved. These are so many treasures
of a collection that I accumulate modestly, with time and the childish spirit that continues to animate me.
