Thomas Block Humery France and Germany, b. 1971

Thomas Block Humery born in Paris in 1971 is a french-german artist living and working in Paris. He received a Master of Arts degree from Panthéon-Sorbonne University. 

After a decade dedicating his photographic work on young people of Nordic countries and showing his work in Reykjavik, Rovaniemi, Cologne or The Hague, he started around 2010 focusing his work in United States and on 'The Great American Vernacular Encyclopedia', a 'cathedral' project in constant progress exploring the American territory as ordinary and transcendent experience.

In his perambulation, he examines with his 4x5 camera the banality as an enigmatic source of mystery and poetic elevation, a world both literal and cryptic. This work will be published in a series of limited edition books starting with 'The Sleeper' produced in Utah. In Paris, Block Humery collaborates with some magazines and some brands such as Dom Pérignon or Mathieu Lehanneur.
