Through an autobiographical practice rooted in his queer identity, Benjamin Renoux questions his unsettled relationship to images in a world where digital omnipresence layers multiple realities. Combining photography with other media (painting, sculpture, video), he unfolds an anxious poetry, poised between pictorial monumentality and documentary fragility, attuned to the fractures of a crisis-ridden present.
His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the United States, and is included in several private and public collections, including that of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris). In 2018, his sculptural work was published in 100 Sculptors of Tomorrow (Thames & Hudson). Benjamin Renoux graduated in 2014 with a Master of Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts London.
