During the quaranteen, some of us were able to do what they never dared to undertake, or finally closed unfinished projects; some others decided to mop in motionless darkness. Briefly said, everyone has his own method. Personnaly speaking, my mother being contamined by the COVID-19, I decided to immerse myself in Literature and Poetry so as not to lose ground or sink into madness, or worse, succumb to fear, because as would say Oscar Wilde “The worst torment is the horrible activity of the imagination”. Taking advantage of my language skills and passion for directing, I revisited French, Polish, English, German and Spanish authors. Let’s go back on these 54 visual creations. There is something for everyone. Do not hesitate to send me your comments.

MICHAŁ BATORY is first of all a friend of mine.
But he is actually one of the most important creator of posters in the world.
One day I discover his work as a photographer in his parisian atelier. I wondered secretly that one day he would invite me to pose. He did it last week.
Here is the result of our work.

At the whole begining of March 2020, just before the Coronavirus Pandemia, I was pretty lucky to play the main role in a short movie, directed by VIGGIE called VIVA LA BELLA. We shot it in the beautiful city of Nice, in the south of France with a great team. I played next to Alice Raucoules a quite strange lady…. The movie’s in edition and about to become a great one!
