Photography
The photographic work is an exploration of travel and parallel collective or familiar scenery of the philosopher. She would have started with an automatic device that was offered during his first trip to Japan as a guest in 1981. The photos are complementary to his written work and captures the 'object just get rid of the issue by giving the goal', including his own body photographed, that writing could not update. His first exhibition was held at the European House of Photography in 2000 in Paris. Since then, photography in general has inspired great texts of Jean Baudrillard.
