Confessions to a camera.
Untitled"In Devil in the Flesh, I look at myself in the mirror, but through the desolate hole of a mask, the circle is broken by the sharp biting angle of a telephone that keeps ringing. I take up the spoon again. There is no form of escape from everyday boredom. Every grammatical punctuation constitutes a search for a break in reality or an intensified state." 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show
Untitled"I'm not finished and do not know how long I have left, although I'm officially dead." In its fiftieth anniversary, Colin check out his past drug and alcohol. Four years to recover, is now furious and brilliant to think about addiction, detoxification and love in the streets. In the chaos and claustrophobia of an ice storm, Colin hopes to be reborn. His guardian angel is running late.
UntitledFrom a series of super low-tech video diaries recorded with the famous and now extinct "fisher price pixel vision" camera. Sadie Benning introduces us to her personal world of discoveries of identities and genres.
UntitledBenning illustrates a lascivious encounter with a "bad girl," through the staging of gender and the interaction of Hollywood clichés: posing for the camera as the rebel, the platinum blonde, the gangster, the fifties crooner, and the "vamp" with heavy eyes. Poses with a cigarette, slow romantic dances, and fast-action heavy metal street shots drive the viewer through the story of the love affair. Benning's video goes beyond romantic fantasy, describing other facets of physical attraction including fear, violence, lust, guilt, and total excitement. As she herself says, "It wasn't love, but it was something..." It was an opportunity to feel glamorous, sexy, and famous, all at the same time.
