CURRENT MISSION

let's see tomorrow

ABOUT ME

the first words that come to my mind, having to draw my profile, are « what about you ? »

I try to pay a close attention to what’s going on, curious about what kind of changes every talk, book, meeting, trip can bring. PhD student (Oh, well educated !) i try to get « uneducated » by all these unexpected events that surprise us every day (if we pay attention to them, again) : people, books, places and many other things I couldn’t write in English…

listen & talk, read & travel, these are my words ! « to look out for oneself », these are the words of one of my favourite poets (I’m not always that boring, I tell you... just don’t feel very comfy with that profile stuff)

I currently live in Paris, city full of starting points…

PHILOSOPHY

-listen & talk, read & travel, these are my words !

-« to look out for oneself »

- "c'est l'indétermination qui fait que l'on a besoin de confiance, mais c'est également parce qu'on a confiance qu'on se risque dans l'indéterminé" (confidence & uncertainty walk side by side — that's not a translation)

Interests

- i'm involved in 2 associations : "les yeux dans le monde" : photographers, documentary&film-makers association (www.lesyeuxdanslemonde.org), and "les rhubarbus" : drawers, cartoonists and writers association (no website)

- travelling far away, taking a walk down the street or up to the closest park

- reading & writing (to learn how to read); listening to people reading

- having long talks with friends
