Mathis Benestebe is a French photographer based in Toulouse. His work revolves around autobiography, disinvestment and void. He wishes to testify the importance of memory in the construction of identity.

'Black-out' is a multidisciplinary project on traumatic amnesia. Loss of memory generated by intense stress causes emotional information to dissociate from the memory circuit, leading to a freezing of memories. Exploring this under UV light, Mathis attempts to reach inaccessible events from childhood.
