Benjamin Freedman is an artist whose practice spans multiple mediums including photography, video and computer-generated imagery with an interest in the restorative potential of photographic research and play.

He received his bachelor’s degree in photography at the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) in 2013 and his Masters at The Ecole cantonal d’art de Lausanne in 2023. While probing the relative truths and deceptions of photography, he purposefully adopts visual vocabularies from cinema and television in an effort to create expanded documentary projects. He has exhibited extensively across the greater Toronto area and internationally at the Aperture Foundation in New York City, Chung-Ang University in Seoul, Foto-Undustria Biennale in Bologna and in the Riga Photography Biennale in Latvia. He recently presented work at the Images Vevey Biennale, Vontobel in Zurich, Switzerland and at Ptolemy Gallery in Queens, New York.
