Exploiting the facades of digital culture and the language of online games, animation and communication platforms, Benigson repetitively enacts the blurring of boundaries between actor, producer and spectator. Her work discloses an obsession in reference to food and supermarket as a play on the body, contemporary identity and femininity. read more...
