Designed with Monique Samson, interior designer and graphic designer, this exhibition entitled "PhotoGraphism : a fresh perspective" took place from August 1 to 31, 2019. It brought together works of art conceived on the basis of photographs, for most exhibited in the PhotoExploration section of the www.culturediff.org website, for some available in the form of original postcards. As a result of a subtle combination of techniques borrowed from the graphic arts and digital photography, they are part of the movement of an artistic trend called PhotoGraphism, which consists in offering a graphic re-interpretation of a photograph.

On November 18, 2016, I made a public lecture at the Université de Philosophie Populaire of Toulouse, France, entitled : "What are the limits od science ?"
During this evening, various scientific topics have been addressed on the basis of thirty or so photographs taken in the Occitanie region: the creation of the world, the content of our Universe, the inner structure of our planet, the transition from the inert to the living, the evolution of life on Earth, the creation of archaeological databases as well as our perception of the beyond. Each of these research areas is hampered by a limit - of cultural, experimental, statistical, or ethical nature, that past and modern scientists constantly push(ed) in order to extend always more our field of knowledge - in other words, our understanding of Mankind and of the surrounding Nature.

On April 24, 2016, I participated in a science cafe at the Quai des Savoirs, Toulouse, France, entitled : "What are the limits od science ?"
This debate was part of "The science in question" cycle initiated by the Popular University of Philosophy of Toulouse. It was moderated by Eric Lowen, philosopher and Director of the Popular University of Philosophy of Toulouse. During the debate, seven scientific topics were addressed: the creation of the world, the content of our Universe, the inner structure of our planet, the transition from inert to living, the evolution of life on Earth, the constitution of archaeological databases and our perception of the afterlife. Twenty photographs taken in the Land of Oc' and exhibited in the PhotoExploration section constituted the main support of discussion.

On October 9, 10 and 11, 2014 were held, as part of La Novela Festival, the Giordano Bruno Days at the Natural History Museum of Toulouse, France. Three days of exchanges between artists, historians, philosophers and scientists around the historical figure of Giordano Bruno. Since they illustrate the historical context and the topics tackled by Giordano Bruno, three Culture Diff' photographs were exhibited at the Museum of Toulouse for three days : Myths and Legends (http://www.culturediff.org/english/ocsciences11.htm), Candle in the Night (http://www.culturediff.org/english/ocsciences16.htm), Body of a Goddess (http://www.culturediff.org/english/ocsciences15.htm)
