Director of a series composed of 5 films « Corsica, Beauté sauvage » broadcast in May 2013 on same Franco-German channel, his singular interest in rural and natural spaces whose stealthy beauty of a world undergoing profound change makes his encounter with Corsica, a landscape-territory, a place where his research brings him to settle down.
