In 1999 and 2000, he realizes two films in the framework of the Video Workshop set by Lieux Fictifs in the Baumettes prison in Marseille.
“Mon ange” and “La Vraie Vie”, these two short length movies experiment new forms of representation of the imprisoned one. The sight of the detainee on himself, on us, on jail and the emotion that downloads from it are closely tight to the memory act.
