To delve into the world of artist Victor is to immerse oneself in raw poetry, where each creation tells a unique story. Victor—aka Nicolas Flachot—as he wanders through secondhand shops and flea markets, gathers fragments of wood with strong character—and more—to transform them into vibrant, authentic works of art. He is exhibiting at Ondes Bordeaux and has asked Camille Gabarra to photograph his totems in this unique Bordeaux space.

Each totem preserves this dense, tender, unchanging material… much like certain memories. In 2026, vrai studio the exhibition organized by Ondes Bordeaux. The totems in their singular presence and the artist in her relationship with the works.
