Work
Horizonville is a series about a village in Switzerland obsessed with American biker culture.

Kitintale is about skateboarding culture in Uganda.

The Jungle Book: Contemporary Stories of the Amazon and its Fringe "contains a collection of stories that demystify Amazonia, probing fiction and reality to both play with the perceived stereotypes and convey the contemporary lived experiences of the local inhabitants." It won the Dummy Book Award at Rencontres d'Arles in 2015.

Aya, in collaboration with Arguiñe Escandón, describes an immersion into the Amazon rainforest in Peru, following the path of Charles Kroehle, a pioneering nineteenth-century photographer.
