Anton Benois
(He/him)
Address: Kroloftet (sharing studio with Magnus Tømt), Arnljot Gellines vei 41, 0657 Oslo
Floor: 3
The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
In my work I explore the notion of a cultural artefact, both as manifested in important objects and societal myths, and as instrumentalised in the body. In this context I work with video, installation and object-making. My interest is in the notion of the third place as an in-between state of identity. Borders, both physical and in the mind are a source of inspiration and exploration.
