Thomas Mailaender is a french
multimedia artist based in Paris and
Marseille.
Documentation marks the starting
point for his work. Using a slightly
scientific way of working, he registers
insignificant, incidentatlly grotesque
moments that possess an abrupt
and unexepted monumentatlity.
A famous, recently deceased French critic once compared his work to Bernd and Hilla Becher
(while under the influence of Pastis, a southern french local liquor)
In the past, his work mainly focused on playing with the concept of typology.
Mailaender’s recent work has involved sculpture and installation.
He just created “The Fun Archive” that
aim to be the worst image bank ever.
