‘birth, life, death and resurrection’ by benjamin john hall

 

 

‘birth, life, death and resurrection’ by benjamin john hall is a seven piece collection of handmade ‘functioning’  footwear pieces. presented in a 30 second teaser edit and full length film, the shoes undergo physical processes relating to the themes. amniotic sacs are opened and umbilical cords are cut. the footwear become salive, they breathe, they grow, they die and are even resurrected in fire. the work explores some of the differences in people’s attitudes or beliefs surrounding our experience of birth, life, death and resurrection.
