Detail of still from 'DIGITAL EVIDENCE', Bello Benischaur Audio Visual DVD

IMPACT & FUSION by WA artist Bello Benischauer presents a dialogue between three sets of wall-objects and audio-visual installations, questioning the social impact of human beings on nature through mass consumption and globally increasing population. Bello has exhibited regularly since the late 90s across Australia, Europe and the United States. His projects explore the relationship between humanity, technology and the natural environment through a synthesis of various art practices.
This exhibition shows recent wall-objects (relief-like expressions) that shock-freeze certain images from his digital installations, recalling cartographic captures of nature strips and urban landscape - always in context to the human being - trying to manifest some sort of sustainability.
Within a laboratory of monitoring, observation and documentation the viewer experiences contrasts and alikeness of the still and moving images that both present selective, concise studies, ending up in layers over layers, images over images, collected to create collages out of the mass information we consume through the media, education, personal and daily experiences (moving images lead into a manifestation of stiffness as expressed in the wall-objects).
Bello's aim is to set a very special view on experiencing this complete alteration in how the world is changing through two different art forms. We have to learn to look at things differently to understand the present before we can work on the future.
