Capturing an image or a sound means seizing a moment.

From family photographs to cinema films, from reels to hard drives, technology evolves—but the essence remains the same: we capture moments and make them visible. And in the age of social media and smartphones, we have never produced so many.

Yet as we immortalize more and more of our lives, we also generate an ever-growing mass of data. Like film reels slowly disintegrating in basements, it is legitimate to wonder what will remain of this monstrous accumulation of data—of all these frozen moments that, in the end, may not be so immortal after all.

As a filmmaker of the internet era, living through rapid technological expansion, it has become essential for me to question our relationship to the moment: how we experience it, but also how we represent it.

I seek to capture moments beyond image and sound, combining my audiovisual expertise with photogrammetric surveys and volumetric printing.

From a square centimeter to an entire landscape, my attention shifts between the very small and the very large, aiming to encapsulate moments and places in order to translate them into narratives—capsules that take the form of videos, models, or installations.
