Maxime Muller - Safe Word (Rien Ne Va Plus)

Muller’s risograph-printed 300-page publication is an account of an obsessive, staggering practice of photography and self-publishing. His dark and raw work is intended to exist as a cross-section as well as a chronology in the heart of dense and dazzling archives. Maxime Muller advances on a fault line where image and violence collide, he speaks to us of politics and identity.

"I wanted to create a free zone, a zone of porosity between everyone. A refuge for unknown anonymous people, a third place for monsters in distress, a theater for hybrid people, a book for chimeras" MM. 2022
It would be futile to seek in the images of Maxime Muller a documentary will. Of these naked bodies, of these sometimes ephemeral meeting places, what remains of it is not about the world but about a personal and subjective exploration. Six years of an initiatory journey where questions of gender, consent, image rights and finally self-image intertwine.
