Deseret | Four Corners
James Benning
Price: EUR 29.90
In the 1990s, James Benning's films were characterized primarily by an
ongoing investigation of the relationship between the image and the (spoken or written) word. This 2-disc set features the
two key works representing the peak of this "text-image film" period. In Deseret Benning (by way of the New York
Times) retells the history of America's Mormon State Utah through spectacular black & white and color images. Art
and landscape join as one in Benning's following film Four Corners, which serves as both a tribute to the famous
region in the USA where four states converge and a portrait of four very different artists.
"For
Benning fans who had to make do with watching these films on YouTube or via questionable downloaded files, having Deseret
and Four Corners in a good, director-approved edition like this is a blessing." (DVD Talk)
