Born in 1985, Thomas Tudoux lives and works in Rennes.
Thomas Tudoux creates visual and social artworks. These are works to be experienced, in which he provokes new perspectives by inviting viewers to step outside their comfort zones, play with the rules, or co-create fictional narratives inspired by our social realities. They are works to be seen, taking the form of drawings, animations, sculptures, and installations—all ways of challenging the norms that govern our lives. He has asked elementary school students to evaluate their recess, invited college students to “retire” at age twenty, invented a cult in which Guinness World Record holders are venerated as martyr saints, and even secured funding for a two-month break for six entrepreneurs across France.
Whether at school, at work, or in our daily lives, Thomas Tudoux challenges models of success and social hierarchies. Through tangible gestures and thoughtful actions, he explores the foundations of our evaluation systems: who decides what is valuable?
