"Each cultural exchange is
a bridge of understanding between our differences,
a thread woven through diversity that affirms and values our identities."

Who is behind the lens?

For more than ten years, my life has been woven between different territories, different souls, different ways of inhabiting the world. I have had the privilege of learning from communities that have welcomed me, adopted me. Who have given me a perspective. A rhythm. A way of being in the world - which I continue to explore. These encounters have shaped my commitment.
If you're here, maybe it's because you're curious about these stories too?
Because you question the world around us, the voices that are rarely heard, the knowledge passed down far from the noise. Whatever brought you here, I’m grateful to share my perspective with you and tell you about what shapes my journey...
First a nurse in international solidarity, I came to understand that care can take many forms. Caring is, above all, about listening. Creating a space where the Other feels seen, recognised and respected. Where they can share their story and see their voice resonate beyond their immediate circle. This realisation led me to photography, film and writing.
Throughout my journey, I have witnessed firsthand the impact of cultural erasure on communities. But I have also seen the strength of those who fight to preserve their heritage. Today, I tell the stories that are entrusted to me - stories of transmission, resilience and identity. Combining artistic sensitivity with a humanistic approach, I strive to share narratives that resonate with both heart and mind, in the hope of fostering deeper understanding and greater recognition of cultures.
These stories are not mine. They are entrusted, shared, co-constructed with those who carry them, who choose to pass them on. Listening, understanding, learning - that is how these stories come to life. They are built through collaboration, with a constant commitment to respecting the words given, honoring the act of transmission. Each image is born from a shared intention : to create a space where voices rise and echo - beyond borders...

The Human Tales project is part of this approach. A documentary series through images and words. A space where human stories take shape, are anchored in the present and transmitted for tomorrow. A project that highlights ancestral knowledge, silent resistance, ways of being in the world that time and modernity threaten to erase...
I film with humility. I write with the desire to share, raise awareness, transmit. I try, on my very small scale, to contribute to preserving what makes the richness of our humanity.
And you, what is your story ?
Maybe it resonates, in one way or another, with the stories shared here. I hope these narratives inspire you. And if you ever wish to share a perspective, a thought or a story… I would be happy to connect with you.
So, see you soon - here or elsewhere...
Coline, Coco.
