Consumer society:
With the emergence and development of the consumer society, and the gradual domination of advertising, official and unofficial posters are extremely diverse, with a wide range of messages and colors.
Our gaze is conditioned by this ideologically biased daily visual environment, and reactivates our memory in a critical, but sometimes also playful and recreational way.

It all starts in the street.
I stroll, track, detect, hunt, collect and pick out posters that are worn, damaged by time, mishandled by passers-by, stuck together, weathered and representing so many erroneous messages that now belong definitively to the past.
To capture a poster is to capture a story, the witness of a moment, the reflection of a political, social or cultural event.
At the same time, to create a new collage, I track down and hunt down abandoned supports of all kinds - wood, metal, plastic, in all shapes and sizes - to recycle them, divert them from their original purpose and give them a new life, a new lease of life.

An artistic approach.
My eye transforms and hijacks the original. I mishandle, mistreat, lacerate, mix, organize, select, superimpose and combine shapes, colors and messages.
I create random, unorganized compositions in the poster, like strata, crossings and encounters revealed by each of my raps.
Bringing meaning and importance to shapes and colors, exploiting the plastic qualities of posters to interweave them, telescope them to create an encounter, my way of creating a unique cohabitation.
It is from this collection of random, abstract compositions that unique works are born, fragile and ephemeral witnesses to our contemporary history.
A new way of expressing the wild, reactive dimension of urban and civilized life, an affirmation of poetry, optimism and gaiety.

A source of inspiration.
