My name is Benji Freeman, and I am a student in the Visual Arts program at Princeton. This website holds the record of my Senior Thesis show. Throughout this year, I have found photography to inadequately convey internal mental states, especially when human subjects could not be safely photographed. I have chosen to lean into the disorder of this year, and I have indulged in my difficulty with holding onto a coherent artistic thread. In this show, I explore the intersecting modalities of image, text, sounds (synthesized and gathered), and line. I still employ the logic of photography (projection being its optical inverse) to interfere with the ordinarily-clean transition between semantics, symbol, and word, in an attempt to mimic an incomprehensible signaling landscape.
