Treehouse Kit

Israeli-born, New York-based artist Guy Ben-Ner draws, sculpts and and makes videos that, despite their various components, always draw on the spontaneity and inventiveness typical of childhood. Often featuring family members, his work is notable for its candor and modest construction. ‘Treehouse Kit’ consists of a modular sculpture and a video projection showing the artist, not without irony, as Robinson Crusoe. It was produced for the 51st Venice Biennale, where it was his native country’s official entry.
