Since 2014, I have been making social and ethnographic documentaries, both in France and abroad. These experiences have led me to become involved in French survivalist networks, to join protest movements led by Bosnian youth, and to practice agriculture alongside women in the Sahel. Currently pursuing a PhD, my fieldwork is taking place in the Kansai region of Japan, particularly in the departments of Hyōgo and Ōsaka. Working on street vendors in Japan also involves questioning the relationship between legality and illegality, and therefore their hidden dimension, which escapes institutional control and can be captured through ethnography.
