80s' Diaries


I started manipulating images with 35 mm slides in the 1980s. I used to fill glass slide frames, as if they were sandwiches, with any kind of material I had on hand. I would project them onto people, shoot portraits and put them in sequences. Basically a film made of slides, where the soundtrack had a narrative role.

Fabulous eighties!
My stories about the alternative downtown scene in NYC
were "given back" to the city and to the protagonists with slideshows projected on skyscrapers and in clubs...
​
​
My keen attention to new trends and cultural ferments has led me to documenting
the early Graffiti Artists
(such as Rammellzee, Toxic, A-One,...),
the East Village scene
(such as Wigstock 1988)
Berlin historic clubs, such as the old Tresor Club, the temple of Techno or the first Love Parades of the 1990s.
