Enolamai

"Books and butterflies - Some text and a cut - You and I. The spaces we inhabit and the time we employ. A psycho-geographic tour - My body in Our world."

- Intuition, the body, dialectic relationships and the process of assemblage construct the core of Benjamin Sebastian's creative process. His practice is at times playful as-well-as sinister and always concerned with the act(s) of living/existing. Repetition and duration are divining tools which the artist incorporates in an attempt to find reason in the irrational and the profound in the mundane. Greatly influenced by Queer Theory, this practice is process: Becoming, again and again. -

"These are a few things which inspire me and others I have created and wish to share."

Benjamin Sebastian

The kiss of death.

This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery.  The Kiss of Death (El Petó de la Mort in Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.
