Trinity consists of large-scale colour works depicting conflicts, world events or politics. The pictures are characterized by detachment, directness and rich details, a documentary approach which is countered by dramatic intensity and a narrative structure. "I sometimes work where power presents itself as a spectacle, as an event produced for or with the media, and my pictures may then take an ironic undertone. But I photograph the ordinary man more often than the leader. I usually stay at the distance where the human relationships are visible, multiple, active and where they remain problematic.
Inspired by 3 'History painting' genres.
Tableaux d'Histoire (1991 - 2000), Tableaux de Guerre (2003 - 2006), Tableaux Politiques (2005 - 2007).
