How did the idea of Triangle Triangle first come to you? What was its initial point ?
Triangle began as a way of collecting my favourite pictures together. I enjoy placing images together, creating new contexts, and sheer masses of the same type of images all displayed in one place.

You have been photographing your wife and daughters for twelve years. What part of your work is staged, and what is not?
I rarely stage anything in my personal work. My series “Caroline, histoire n°2” has 2 or 3 stages images, amongst 65 others. Staging something helps to create an ambiguity and makes the viewer wonder whether or not the intimacy within the photographs is real. I do prefer to...

Your website is equally made of screen captions of text messages as well of very carefully set up photographs. How do you find inspiration on a daily basis and what was the thing that inspired you most in the latest 24 hours?
I have a hard time finding inspiration. I do like to look though old text books and cook books and I think I get a lot of inspiration from second hand things. I like to just...
