Rikke Benborg
The work of Rikke Benborg connects physically staged and scenographic space with temporal aspects of experimental film. Through video, film and animation she creates minimal and dreamlike settings inhabited by alienated or uncomfortable female characters. In other works she explores notions of form in relation to the physical body in short films which blur the boundaries between body and object.
Rikke Benborg (born in 1973, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. She has exhibited both in Denmark and abroad, including Sweden, England and the United States. She is currently showing work in the Hong Kong based film and video festival Videotage.
