An individual is defined as such by the notion of identity. It allows him to build  him or herself on the social, but also on the personal level. However, if this freedom is denied in your own country, you have no other choice than to flee In Denizli, a small town in Turkey, hundreds of gay Iranian refugees transit: they put their lives on hold waiting to eventually find a host country where they can freely live their sexuality. This work questions the fragile concepts of identity and  gender. In this context of uncertainty, it gives these people a face which their country has temporarily stolen

This workshop, directed by Thomas Mailaender, was aimed at students in the second year of their Bachelor's degree in Photography. The students were immersed in the art of physically constructing an image and its presentation device. The idea was to broaden their artistic horizons through an awareness of installation, scenography and sculpture. The creative atmosphere of the workshop was enriched by a bold touch, where the singular smell of waste added an unexpected sensory dimension, transforming each creation into a unique exploration. Thomas Mailaender challenged the students to push the boundaries of photographic creativity. The project then took the form of an exhibition in Chavannes-Près-Renens. At the heart of this immersive experience, images were projected, hung, cut and superimposed, giving rise to unique, innovative and immersive works.
