Young digital swiss creation: animation, video and interactive installation
This exhibition was conceived in the frame of La belle voisine, a cultural exchange program between France and Swiss. I curated an exhibition of swiss animation, video and interactive installations in order to present the very dynamic and emrging swiss creation. Among the animation and interactive installations, all the videos were presented on a huge cube placed in the middle of Bonlieu, the creation scene of Annecy.

An eminently critic and despair purpose from which the esthetic and often humorous values go far beyond a simple statement on politic ethics.
La Tronçonneuse, Angela Marzullo, 2004

Circus, Collectif-Fact, 2007
The circus project considers the construction of space in a particular way. The installation shows a view of the city inconstant motion that seems to disintegrate. Pieces of urban architecture, logos
