Born in Paris to a French-German family, I grew up in Brazil and Ecuador before returning to live in France at the age of thirteen. In the meantime, I started making films, building cardboard studios in my garage: cinema became my home, a space that belonged to me. It continued to accompany me throughout my education.
Years later, following a trip around the world, I landed in Berlin: the city with the 'no man's land', a refuge for all the nationalities of the world. But it is also a changing city, which constantly forced me to move into a new room and leaving the old one. Filling the rooms with my belongings, I lived in some place for a while and then emptied it again, leaving after my passage only the four white walls that I had found on my arrival, in search of other walls to repeat everything.
This movement echoed my travels, all the places I crossed without ever settling down. Finally, I built myself between the moving boxes, this permanent filling and emptying, and the places of passage became my home. The subject in which I evolved ended up shaping me: I perceive my environment as someone who is always about to leave, who has no place anywhere other than between two places.
Communicating with the language of cinema is seeking to create a relationship between the spectators and the film. Whether it is a fictional or documentary work, we do not seek to show life as it is, but to open spaces for exchange: a search for truth rather than reality. It is a common language that can only have meaning when what is seen and heard exceeds what is shown, a tool for creating emotional connections.
Cinema is what is between the projected work and the spectator who receives it. It does not imitate life, nor does it replace it, and therefore does not exist during its filming or during its broadcast: cinema is constructed between spaces.
