Jacques Prévert, Histoires, 1946.
Born in southern France in the early '90s, Vincent started visiting tropical forests and people living in them at 19 years old. Deeply interested in intertwined links that human societies have established with their environments, he uses photography and ethnobotany to explore them.
Postdoctoral researcher working on ethnobotanical knowledge within Austronesian cultures. He uses mixed methods and sensitive approaches including drawings interviews, bioacoustics and visual anthropology. His work aims to explore biocultural interaction in tropical ecosystems while bridging gaps between local and academic knowledge systems—link to my lab's page and Researchgate profile.
