J'y suis encore / I'm still here.

1994-2019; I have lived now in Sweden for 25 years, and to commemorate this I have published the photo book J’y suis encore / I'm still here.

It contains 25 black-and-white photographs taken in Sweden over the last 25 years, and the book is printed in only 25 copies, numbered and signed.

It contains also a foreword of 25 words (text in French, Swedish and English).

Tommy Arvidson wrote about the book on the website of the Swedish Photographers Association.
