Benjamin
Entner, 'Ego Sum'
Ego
Sum is a recent body of work exploring the boundaries and interplay between two-
and three-dimensional methods of making. Specifically, the point at which a
drawing can become form and an object can become representation. These works are
made by drawing in a realistic fashion on fabric and then inflating it to make
the drawing voluminous and sculptural. These works are made with a keen
awareness to art historical precedents and are often a reference to or parody of
the figurative work of Classical and Renaissance masters. At SOMA I intend to
create a monumental figurative water fountain mimicking those of the Baroque
era. The fountain will be made in a similar fashion to the Ego Sum project
however, its figures will be outfitted with hoses and pumps so that they may
‘spit’ water.
