Eline Benjaminsen (b. 1992) makes camera based follow-the-money narratives combining video, print- and publication making. Her works are attempts at observing the always weird, often violent and mostly invisible spaces where market fundamentalism, financialisation and ecological crisis meet.
The Flora (silk screen + photo print, 2024) Eline Benjaminsen & Dayna Casey exhibited at Velferden during Coast Contemporary. Publication: Where the money is made (salmon newsprint, 48 pages, 2017). With contributing texts by Sophie Dyer, Alexandre Laumonier and Joost Dobber. Graphic design by Titus Knegtel.
Techniques associated with a documentary photography tradition are fused with experimental representations. She collaborates with a variety of platforms and individuals, from researchers and activists to the financial press. Recent exhibits of her projects include Oslo Kunstforening (NO), Radius CCA (NL) and Wereldmuseum Amsterdam (NL). She has a BA from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, where she studied photography.
