Yuula Benivolski
Yuula Benivolski (born 1980) is a Russian photographer and video artist based in Toronto, Canada.
Early life and education[edit]
Born in Moscow, she made two significant immigrations with her family before the age of 20.[1]
She has an MFA from Concordia University in Montreal.
Photography[edit]
In 2018-2019 she interviewed and photographed Jewish immigrants in Montreal from eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East for a project commissioned by the Museum of Jewish Montreal titled The Ocean Between Us.[2][3][4][5] Touching on themes of diaspora, inter-community connections and intergenerational folklore, The Ocean Between Us created physical and psychic threads between those who left and those who stayed. This work employed the immigrant narrative to break down stigma, to build and strengthen intergenerational ties, and to create a sense of belonging.
Her photography has also been published in The Guardian[6] The Globe and Mail,[7] and NowToronto.[8]
Video[edit]
Benivolski co-directed a 2011 video for "The Great Elsewhere" by Owen Pallett, which was described by Pitchfork as "a chilly, atmospheric thing."[9] She also directed a 2015 music video for the music group Jooj.[10]
In 2016 she had started her own ASMR channel on YouTube titled tingleheads where she makes ASMR videos out of artist books, publications, zines, multiples and small artworks.[11][12][13][14]
