My research approach is situated at the intersection of art history, aesthetics, and philosophy, with a special focus on representations of the body and the interactions between art, technology, and society. Through my doctoral and postdoctoral work, I explore the connections between image, identity, and the perception of life in various artistic and media contexts.
I have conducted several studies on photography, performance, and exhibition as mediums of cultural transmission. My work particularly addresses the blurring of human and inanimate in photography, the challenges of corporeality in visual arts, and new forms of museum mediation. As an associate researcher and collaborator on interdisciplinary projects, I actively contribute to the advancement of knowledge in contemporary art and museology.

Between Seeing and Being: The Dichotomy of the Body in Medical and Artistic Imagery in the Phenomenological Experience (2024-2026)
Read more: Between Seeing and Being: The Dichotomy of the Body in Medical and Artistic Imagery in the Phenomenological Experience (2024-2026)How do medical and artistic images transform our perception of the body? This postdoctoral research explores the dichotomy between the living body and its technical representation. By intersecting art and medicine, it examines how medical imaging, purportedly objective, and artistic imagery, laden with emotions, shape our bodily experience in the 21st century.

Personification and Incarnation in the Creation of an NGO: A Transdisciplinary Applied Research (2023 – 2024)
Read more: Personification and Incarnation in the Creation of an NGO: A Transdisciplinary Applied Research (2023 – 2024)How can the identity of an NGO be embodied through a character or mascot? My postdoctoral research explores this question by combining communication, pedagogical engineering, and artistic practices. Relying on Godefroy Doua Sienfonda’s project for the fight against malnutrition in Côte d’Ivoire, this study analyzes how an embodied figure can strengthen donor engagement and create a closer bond with beneficiaries.

Thesis: The Survival of the Living in Photography. The Photographic Confusion Between the Body and the Object of the Mannequin to Robotics (2017 – 2023)
Read more: Thesis: The Survival of the Living in Photography. The Photographic Confusion Between the Body and the Object of the Mannequin to Robotics (2017 – 2023)Can photography capture the boundary between the living and the inert? Through my thesis, The Survival of the Living in Photography, I explore the confusion between the body and the object, from the mannequin to robotics. By analyzing the works of Helmut Newton, Cindy Sherman, and Nick Knight, this research examines how photography shapes our perception of the human body, oscillating between humanization and reification.
