From 2013 to 2023, he worked on two projects concerning death and illness: the first focused on assisted suicide in Switzerland (2013-2019), and the second on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (field in California), a neurodegenerative disease (2019-2021). Today, he is concerned with the links and blind spots between anthropology and psychoanalysis, analyzing the creative acts of people in psychic suffering.
