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.
For the past years his work mainly
focused on playing with the concept
of typology.
A recently Dead famous french critic
once compared his work to Bernd
and Hilla Becher Under the influence
of Pastis (a southern french local liquor).
His work has been turning recently
to sculpture and installation.
He just created “The Fun Archive” that
aim to be the worst image bank ever.
