Bryce Julien is a Toronto-based artist, and community facilitator at The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University. He is a graduate of the School of Image Arts Photography Studies. Central to his practice is the positioning of the photographic object as a tool for critical thinking and intrapersonal development. His work focuses on exploring the collaborative implications of the subject to photographer relationship. In recent practice, he looks to the materiality of photographic processes, operating in analog and alternative mediums to consider the role of somatics in artistic production.
