Low-tech, but ingeniously inventive, Guy Ben-Ner’s videos often centre on home and family, exploring, exposing and exploiting the relationship he has with his children.
Simultaneously serious and funny, tender and torturous, they resonate with and build on the history of cinema. Guy Ben-Ner is best known for his video Moby Dick (2000) – a silent slapstick conceptual comedy in which he re-enacted the famous novel in his kitchen with his six year old daughter. His subsequent works Elia – A Story of an Ostrich Chick (2003) and Wild Boy (2004) also feature the artist and his children.
