The series 2256 is the result of four years of wanderings
in the district of La Défense among the esplanade, high-rises,
sky and works of art. In June and July of 2011 the series was
an exposition at the “DEFACTO la Gallery” gallery and became
a permanent installation for the “Etablissement public de gestion
du quartier d’affaires de La Défense.”


An exhibition catalogue entitled 2256 La Défense was printed
on this occasion >


The viewer enters into a universe where their eyes ceaselessly
oscillate between the present and future to project oneself into
the year 2256; an imaginary future based on a transitory present.
In a pictorial projection, contemporary constructions become
the monuments of tomorrow. Each image has the composition
of a painting, and is animated by a constant movement resonating
between time and space.
