I'm an anthropologist, exhibition curator, photographer and documentary filmmaker. I try to understand religious phenomena, particularly pilgrimages in Christianity, Islam and Judaism, in the Euro-Mediterranean world. 

The camera is as important as my notebook. 

Several titles are exhibition films, which I made for the Shared Sacred Sites exhibition, which I curated and which has been shown in a number of museums: the Mucem in Marseille (2015), the Bardo Museum in Tunis (2016), the Musée National de l'Histoire de l'Immigration in Paris (2017), the New York Public Library (2018), as well as in Thessaloniki, Marrakech, Istanbul, Ankara and Rome... 

Other titles include lectures and media appearances in connection with these exhibitions and my publications.
