Benjamin Phillips-Nozdrachev (b.1982) is a multidisciplinary artist from Australia based in Helsinki. After relocating to Melbourne from 2002-2012, he has been living and working in Europe over the past eleven years. In Germany from 2013-2017, and in Finland from 2018-2024.

In his practice, Phillips uses walking and gathering found objects as a conscious way to investigate and connect with small details of ordinary things. Fragments of broken, lost and abandoned objects are collected and concocted as marks of time. By using a variety of this stockpiled material, his work merges into a cycle of order and disorder.
