He was initially taken in by the Swiss Red Cross, and was able to undertake a series of photos documenting the life of refugees, which led to a mobile photo exhibition within the Swiss Red Cross.
Little by little, sculpture took over from photography. Since his last public appearance at a joint exhibition with three other sculptors in 1996 at Galerie 2016 in Brussels, he has returned to photography.
This brief biography is accompanied by a short retrospective of images to illustrate his different periods.
