There is no such thing as adult autistic , 2013
“For the past 18 years, I have been photographing autistic and psychotic children in their family universe; this work, which will continue for a few more years, leads me to think and rethink my work as a photographer. In order to approach this work on autism in a different way, I have made a series of portraits of autistic adolescents and adults: frontal portraits, looking at the camera, a kind of portrait that could be said to be “of identity” in the sense of a confrontation with the subject, without any artifice of pause, which would force us to no longer situate ourselves as the “observer” of another, but by accepting to simply look at this other as he or she is, and obviously, to position him or her no longer as an autistic but just as the human being photographed. ”
