SUSPENDED ANIMATION 1 & 2

A new installation by John Bent.

In this two-part animation and installation, Bent explores the relationship of time to our bodies and personal identities. Suspended Animation 1 presents a continuous churning mass of abstracted organ-like forms, exposing the rift between the real and perceived time of our internal body. Suspended Animation 2 emerges from within a wax and latex form, examining the continual, largely unnoticed changes and cycles of our external body's appearance.
