Maximiliano Tineo (1988, Rosario, Argentina) lives and works in Paris, France.

With a practice originated in photography, he has progressively expanded into editorial projects, video and sound installations, archival research, and more recently sculpture. Working across mediums, he explores how images shape memory, belonging and historical consciousness.

His early work was marked by his experience as a migrant, addressing nostalgia, solitude and the fragile notion of home. These projects examined displacement and emotional geography through intimate visual narratives. In recent years, his research has shifted toward a more explicitly documentary field, investigating the history of South America through colonial, neo-colonial and extractive processes that continue to define the region’s identity.

Some of his projects have taken shape as artist books and installations, notably “hearth”, an award-winning reflection on uprootedness and belonging, and “El Rey Blanco“, which revisits a 16th-century legend to examine the enduring logic of resource exploitation in South-America.

He has presented his works in solo and group exhibitions and has contributed to international publications, including next  and most recently: “El Rey Blanco” Festival Circulation(s) Paris, France, March 2026, “hearth,” accompanied by Oleñka Carrasco and Laima, Galerie du PPC, Paris, 2025; “Open Veins,” PhMuseum Lab, Bologna, Italy, 2025; “Impossible Worlds” - Mulhouse Photography Biennial, 2024, France; “Face to Face” screening at the Rencontres d'Arles by Der_Greif, Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation, 2024; “Volver, Volver,” 2024, Argentina, among others.
