Benoît Maire
Born in 1978 at Pessac, France
Benoît Maire questions the limits of figuration through a visual representation of often philosophical concepts, through installations blending photography, film, sculpture, objects, and writing. He explores the gaps between language and sight, nature and culture, while questioning processes of historical and aesthetic construction. In a call for metaphysical sublimation, his artistic universe tends towards an archaeology of the contemporary word with its inherent contradictions.
Born in 1978 in Pessac, Benoît Maire is a graduate of the Villa Arson in Nice and the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. He also followed the post-graduate programme at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. He lives and works in Bordeaux.
