Artist statement
Benjamin Owens work explores performance, disconnection and reflection through the traversal and potential performance of objects and spaces.
Owens practice combines a broad evolving mix of still photography, moving image, performance, actions and improvised music. Within these hybrid pieces he investigates appropriation, production values and the subsequent impact of different mode's of display.
