What is Play Pause about?
The two-channel video departs from Benning’s earlier work, cutting together hundreds of the artist’s gouache drawings of urban landscapes, figures, and abstractions. With its fragmented split-screen perspective, durational takes of still drawings, and occasional use of color filters, Play Pause speaks to the heightening of perception that accompanies periods of loss. The story is brought to life by director Sadie Benning. With a runtime of 29 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
