Those women, those men and child, precarious and excluded, that "Médecins du Monde" are following everyday in France, like anywhere in the World, we wanted to give them the speech, give them a face. This is Imre, Armelle, Najat, Marco, Jean-Michel or Constantin. At the occasion of the International Day of the misery's eradication, they accepted to become ambassadors of all of those which are sharing the same fate. Everyone of them are illustrating at the same time, a personal itinerary and a fault in our cares's access. In all their humanity, their dignity, with their sufferings and their hopes, they are lookig at us, eyes in the eyes. And they calling us. Extract from the text's project.

Tony Parker's Portrait in the LUI Magazine - July/August 2014

The brand new series Identities, Intimate territories, is presented during Rencontres d'Arles Edition 45. Showed as a video, public will be able to see the faces and hear the words of people questionned about the notion of identity, during a one year trip in France.
"He allowed all these French folk, who are usually never heard, to speak, these anonymous people whose bodies, postures, words, at times offensive, at times hesitant, describe a geography on a human scale, a territory where man stands tall, no matter the boundaries."
From a text by Natacha Wolinski
