Born in 1978, Benoit Pailley lives and works in New York and Paris. He is photographer

He is photographer specializing in still life and installation
photography.
Pailley erases the boundaries between art and fashion, between
physical space and in print.
Objects becomes “works of art” in environments that recreate gallery
spaces.When conceptually appropriate, he builds installations that
frame the ‘work’ in unique and stunning ways.
His ability to manipulate the visual language and deftly confuse and
cojoin the high and the low is both refreshing and engaging.
In his stories, he infuses politics, poetry and humor.

His first solo exhibition, Passport, was presented at the Flux
Foundation in Geneva in March 2008.
He is a regular contributor to Sleek and Double magazines and won
German’s Lead Award (Silver) in 2006 for best photographer in
Still Life/Architecture category.
