Born in 1972 in Rennes .

Childhood in the countryside, scientific vat, litterature, English licence.

In 93, sonic experiments in Rennes with the group Ecce Kaos : hometapes and noise poetry.

In 95, departure to Toulouse. First concerts/performances in the Myrys Factory and beginning of the adventure with the LEM (Laboratory of Experimental Music) within the 1KA band.
In the factory, the plastic artists of "Articule Dégrippant" offer me a place in their workshop and I start to store ideas and materials for my first visual performances. Meet with Valerie Batel, who will become my performance partner and partner.

The daily practice of creation, in a fraternity of radical engagement, enables me to discover another way of considering art, at last in life .
I decide to devote my time to performance-art, a place for research and ideal laboratory. Place for meeting too: my actions often leave a room for interventions of children, friends or assistants impromptu.

In 97, a HAPPENINGTRIP Toulouse - Weimar - Berlin - Toulouse , 16 in a minibus, for a series of happenings entitled Total Spektakl .

In 98, back to Berlin (Prenzlauerberg) for a participation in the Congress of Performances and Arts Visual "72 Stunden". After this congress, I live one year and half in ex-EastBerlin (Friedriechshain), with my girlfriend and a couple of Argentinian artists, Damian Crubellatti and Adriana Pavic.
June 99, departure for Weimar and Leipzig (2 months) then Madagascar (3 months).
Return in France in 2000 and search for a house/atelier in the countryside. I live from now on in a village of 280 inhabitants, in the North-East of the Maine-and-Loire, in an old post office wherefrom I prepare my trips. I live with Valerie Batel, painter, who takes part in many of my actions. And we have a son, Noé , born on November 9, 2000.
