Bio

MENLAYERS is an online label dedicated to and fascinated by male iconography, photography, nudity, still-life and queer graphics from the 1970s and 1980s. The artistic alter ego behind MENLAYERS is Benjamin Edeline.

I was born in Versailles, France, and have lived and worked in New York for the last 10 years. I come from the fashion industry, where my eyes never stop learning, and I am now an art photographer living in Paris.

 

At MENLAYERS you will find different crafted or readymade items, such as:

  • « Ceci n’est pas un Polaroid »: Digital collages created from vintage archives and personal photography inspired by Polaroids. Each collage is unique and part of a series.
  • Original numbered prints. Edition of 5 + 2 AP signed and numbered. Inkjet print on Baryta Prestige Paper.
  • Drawings and mixed media art (soon)
  • Posters (soon)
  • Zines
