About my approach

Genetically programmed to be a painter, I chose photography at a very early age as a way to survive: it was a profession closest to my preoccupations.

The work of Kurt Schwitters made me abandon gouache painting to start assembling diverse materials and objects. Discovering the 3rd dimension, I became a sculptor for a time, before starting to reconstruct on a small scale my favourite universe: the artists’ rooms.
These mock-ups became the models, in a pictorial sense, for my photographs, and since then I have built them for that purpose.
The polymorphic aspect of my approach has served as guide for the architecture of this website." (bron en foto's: Philippe De Gobert)
