Benedict Flett

Benedict Flett is a documentary landscape photographer and writer from London, currently living in Leipzig. His interests range across networked photography, political aesthetics and the post-Soviet space. But his work so far has mostly focused on exploring manifestations of ideology and discourses of progress on landscapes and the built environment.

Benedict's first photobook, Borderland, shot in Minsk and the big cities of eastern Belarus, was published by Zone 6 earlier this year. His latest series follows the route of the former Grand Surrey Canal in south London, which was finally closed in 1974, using it as a kind of hook to tell a story about social and urban change.
