Initiated in the early 90s, the H.U.M.A.N.W.O.R.L.D. project. brings together all of its concerns: identity construction and ideology, reification and fetishism, belief, memory, temporality. Beyond the heterogeneity of practices and media, the pedagogy he carries out in his workshop is based on the analysis and sharing of works and the discourses – beliefs – associated with them.


He works in schools in France and abroad (Beijing, Tokyo, Helsinki, London, Taipei, Belgrade, etc.). His work has been presented in numerous museums and arts centers, including the Center Pompidou, the Jeu de Paume, the ZKM, the Tinguely Museum, the Prada Foundation.
