► Jeune femme nue debout, le bras gauche posée sur la tête, Rembrandt Bugatti / Musée d'Orsay

"The body, this most specific of objects, expresses, through the movement that animates it, the interior life taking place within. Life is movement, life is dance."

► Château de Blérancourt

"I have been photographing this museum under renovation for a number of years. It will reopen this year having been closed for nearly ten years. It's very enjoyable to take photos of spaces from time to time: the approach and the ingredients that allow you to take a good photo are totally different from those photographing objects or paintings. This brings a change that I appreciate. Composition and the interaction of coloured expanses. I very much like the presence of this fine tree in the middle of all of these abstract lines." ​

► Pocket spyglass in its case

"I can't stop myself from thinking that this spyglass belonged to a Pirate of the Caribbean. In short, this object takes me back to my childhood a little bit."
