Ben Saint-Maxent develops projects as many contributions to his researches on the history of the make of exoticism.
Saint-Maxent creates installations, close to museographic objects, producing spaces of criticism, between introspection, nostalgia for elsewhere and sculptural gestures.

Ben Saint-Maxent lives and works in Marseille. After graduating from Villa Arson (National art school of Nice) in 2013, he left to mature his work in Latin America. Ben Saint-Maxent participated in the research program "creation & globalization" in Shanghai (run by Paul Devautour) and several residencies. Recently, he presented his projects for the 4th Casablanca Biennial (2018) ; #7 Clous, Marseille (2017) and at Galerie HO, Marseille (2016). He will be in Peruvia for a three weeks residency in 2019.
