, a portrait of one of the first French transgender women, for which he won the best documentary César in 2013.

I accumulated images I liked, which little by little increased considerably. It's the sheer volume, over the years, which turned the practice into a collection. I realized there was something pretty obsessive about wanting to find a certain type of image over thirty years.
