Raymond Boisjoly

Raymond Boisjoly is an Indigenous artist of Haida and Québécois descent who lives and works in Vancouver. He earned his BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and his MFA from the University of British Columbia. With photography at the core of his practice, Boisjoly misuses various imaging technologies, like scanners, photocopiers and inkjet printers, to transform and reinterpret archival film footage, pop culture content and everyday objects. Through his artistic interventions, Boisjoly interrogates the way popular media situates Indigenous art and artists within a colonial context. By reworking the “readymade” object, Boisjoly offers a new lens through which the viewer can investigate these everyday items.
