Kallytype on can-
son paper
12x15
Portrait project involving
french militants from main po-
litical parties. Images done with
film cameras and processed with
alternative printing
techniques using kallytipe
and iron cristals. Using this technique emphasises
the idea of a continuity into mili-
tantism thoughout times and at the
same time vanity of militantism.
22. to conceive
Designed for the exhibition space,
thislight installation em-
phasises the idea of border
crossing from four cardinal
points. This project faces the audi-
ence to a response, arounsing cu-
riostity and putting the visitor into the situation of a traveller, crossing
a space whose access had been
forbiden by a signali-
sation on the floor forcing the
the visitor to transgress the
space rules.

25. Jelazon refugee camp, West Bank, September 2012
Iyad: “This is me now. I dont care about histor y. Me, my family, my
children.
I want to leave from here but its too expansive to get out of here.
I was injured by the army. Two bullets.”
He put a youtube video. A famous rabbi talks about Arabs in Jordan, in
Lebanon, in Syria. This Rabbi says that all united, two millions he said,
the arabs will be walking, crossing the Golan to march upon Israel.
The mother of Iyad said she likes him. It was hard for me to understand
at the beginning. But then i understood that it was seen as a prophecy,
as something that will happen. They loved this stupid Rabbi because
they wanted revenge, for the people killed, injured, jailed and harassed.
We told them that they didn’t understood that this Rabbi’s goal was
to fear israeli people. To make the israelis beleive that the Arabs were
about to invade Israel. To use fear in order to make Israel kill before it
would be threatened. The death logic.
Jelazon camp is a small city. A refugee camp is a city. With concrete.

to imagine a state with no religion. “Who wants to go to the mosk, go
to the mosk. Who.. temple.. go to temple.. Who… church.. go to the
church… Who doesn’t want to go to pray, don’t pray.”
He said yes. He said he’s ready to live with the jews.
Iyad mother had her brother killed. She doesn’t want to deal with the
jews.
Me into this cab alive, breathing the air, aware of the countr y, happy
to be with them, happy to be accepted ever ywhere i went, happy to be
free, not to lie, to discover people, to say fuck to the racists, to live my
life as someone who enjoys. It seemed the people of Palestine wanted
to talk to me. Not to the american, not to the indian, not the other peo-
ple that were with us. When i was in the knafe place the people were
intrigated. They shook my hand, they called me, they came and told me
their name, they wanted to know me as much as i wanted to know them,
they invited me to their place, they gave me food, they put theirs ideas
into me. I dreamed, i came to israel to tell the people. Ive been hanging
out with beautiful people. I met a girl in Ramallah who was life itself
and it frightened me. I thought i was unable to meet the people, not to
frighten them, not to loose them, not to get their fear mirrored and be
accepted.
