To create these Black and White photographs, I use financial charts and statistics as basic shapes to produce photographic representations of global economic and ecological concerns. The charts have been modeled using a 3D software and integrated in landscapes I photographed. By turning these curves and sculptural shapes into massive constructions close to memorials or monumental sculptures, I intend to reach something beyond data. My purpose is to underline their fondamental link to landscape and thus, to human and natural history. I have been working on this project since 2005.

Pour ce travail débuté en 2005, j'utilise des graphiques économiques de différents types (projections, modèles d'analyses boursiers, résultats financiers) pour produire des formes plastiques, des accidents architecturaux. Ces informations sont déplacées de force dans le domaine de la sculpture et du paysage. Dans Monuments, je crois qu'il existe un doute sur ce qu'il faut penser de ces formes posées dans le paysage. Faut-il les voir comme des objets-intrus à bannir, des formes plastiques séduisantes, des désastres écologiques? Cette poétique ambigüe est pour moi la proposition optimale.

为了创作这些黑白照片，我利用财务图表和统计表作为基本形状，以照片形式表现全球的经济和生态问题。这些图表使用 3D 软件建模，然后整合到我拍摄的风景中 通过将这些曲线和塑形转化成靠近纪念馆或纪念碑雕塑的大型建筑，我希望达到某种超越数据的效果。我的目的是突显它们与风景在本质上的关联性，从而突显与人文和自然历史在本质上的关联性。从 2005 年开始，我就一直在从事这个项目。
