Extract of my works between 2004 and 2008

Mullens, West-Virginia, 2004.

"The heart and soul of America reside here, in West Virginia" (G.W Bush, September 2004)

Located on the borders of the Appalachians Mountains, land of coal and hunting games, Mullens is a small town settled between a railroad and a river. 1800 souls, seven churches, no one outside. No particular event or news led Mullens’ choice. Apart from the fact that this town is located in the heart of a state and which has always voted for the democratic candidate, apart from the last two presidential elections. Just the wish to encounter another America, and to try to understand its codes, far from the New York or Washington hustle.

Hurricanes in Texas and Louisiana 2005

After the passing of Katrina, the streets of New Orleans are strewn with rubbish and abandoned cars. The inhabitants have fled the city. On september the 24th, only a few weeks after Katrina, an other hurricane - Rita - arrived on the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico. And in a few hours, it wiped-out a region located further west, between Texas and Louisiana.

In 2008 during Obama’s election, I spent some time with the democrat supporters and I documented the life of the Dickinson college, one of America's oldest university of liberal arts located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
