Ben is a 10 minute 16mm film that forms the second part of Basking in what feels like an ocean of grace, I soon realise that Im not looking at it, but rather that I AM it, recognising myself .
Shot in colour on a set that was built in Black and White, Ben re- inhabits a famous case study involving hypnosis. The authority of the case study, the rickety construction of the set, and the faltering voice over hold the film together in a precarious balance.
