Jean-Roule: Hey, where are you from? Another galaxy far, far away?
Alexis: I arrived from France a long, long time ago... This August will mark the date when I will have lived longer in Belgium than in France: nineteen years on each side of the border. So you could say I'm.. Frelgian?
Jean-Roule: Do you have a favourite theme? How do you define your work?
Alexis: A little too geeky to be an artist, but a little too artistic to be really geeky... I love technology and spending my life in front of a computer, but I get bored too quickly to really be a specialized technician. Let's just say I'm looking for myself a lot, and I try to do it while having fun every step of the way!
Jean-Roule: My little finger tells me that you dabble in a lot of things: 2D animation, 3D, photography, and even piano. Do all these practices blend together for you?
Alexis: I wish they'd do it more! For me, they correspond to very different states of mind: I work in motion design, I have fun with 3D, and photography is more of a personal exploration... These three areas of my work revolve around each other without really touching, but it's a balance that suits me for the moment.
Jean-Roule: Aliens abduct you to create an intergalactic work of art, what would be your first project with them?
Alexis: An animal documentary about humans! I'll do the translation
Jean-Roule: If you could travel through space and time, where and when would you go?
Alexis: On the moon, July 20, 1969, for the joke.
Jean-Roule: Are you working on a project for 2024? Will you add a new hobby?
Alexis: quite a few projects have already been launched, but the one that's going to occupy me the most this year is (if all goes to plan) a little outside my usual field of expertise: I'm going to be a father, so yes, I imagine I'll have some new hobbies.
Jean-Roule: Thank you for all these enlightening answers about yourself. I wish you lots of happiness for the future, and we'll see you on Thursday at 7:00 PM at Munch!
