Mazaccio & Drowilal
Working mainly with photography and collage, Mazaccio & Drowilal humorously deconstruct multiple facets of the contemporary world by gathering and arranging mass media images and objects. Their visual practice and aesthetic approach are heavily influenced by the Internet’s new iconographies and digital culture.
Elise Mazac aka Mazaccio (born 1988) and Robert Drowilal (born 1986) are two French artists who have been working together since 2009 as the duo Mazaccio & Drowilal. Mazaccio studied at Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris and the School of Visual Arts, New York; Drowilal earned his degree from the Nantes School of Art. In 2013, they were the winners of the BMW Residency at the Musée Nicéphore Niépce. Their work has been exhibited internationally in solo exhibitions at Paris Photo, 2014; The Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography, Moscow, 2015; Paris Photo Los Angeles, 2015; and the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), New York, 2016.
