Yuula Benivolski was born in Moscow, grew up in Israel and currently lives in Montreal, Canada. She completed her BFA in photography at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and is currently attending the MFA programme at Concordia University in Montreal. Yuula works with photographs, projection, video and installation.
My artistic practice is focused on the reconciliation of a constantly changing identity and the construction of one’s personal history. Elements of alienation and social paranoia manifest themselves in my work through private glimpses into the space of fictional subjects, whose origins are unclear.
Similar to the subjects of my work, my own history is full of ambiguities. Working in an interdisciplinary manner, I tell the stories of displacement through mixed autobiographical and fictional narratives.
