In the eighties, I engraved and painted super 8 movies and slides. One day, I discover the Ektas 9x12 which serve for the reproduction of my paintings. Happy to transpose the techniques of traditional etching in the Ektas gelatin then to realize two prints on cibachrome paper (one positive and one negative). The miniature engraved under "magnifying eye" takes a crazy energy on this scale. This work was exhibited during my four months residence at the National Scene of Saint Quentin en Yvelines.
