« It all started when I saw ‘Death in Venice’ for the first time, the young Tadzio and the old man, beauty and death. Some years later “Thriller Adolescent” was born – the project for which I write, take pictures and make video art.

The unbearable beauty of Thriller Adolescent’s young icons, reveal the darkness of my stories. My work consists in stealing details like the flap of an eye lid so not to ask them a single movement, nor a word which would seem out of place and make them feel self conscious.

To die, not to confront the adult world, to lose your adolescent dreams to enter adulthood… suspense. »
