Installation and Performance
Jane Elizabeth Bennett’s installation art delves into existence’s fragmented and ever-shifting nature. She explores the interplay of memory, language, and place through immersive environments, revealing how these systems fracture and reform in response to time, perception, and human interaction. Her work invites audiences into spaces where sensory experiences and conceptual frameworks collide, offering an intimate dialogue between the external world and internal reflection.
Rooted in her ongoing exploration of urban landscapes, neurodivergent perspectives, and sensory sensitivities, Bennett’s installations transform environments into dynamic canvases. Her work examines the complexities of belonging and alienation, whether projecting films onto architectural surfaces, layering images to evoke a sense of disconnection, or crafting tactile, sensory-driven experiences. By challenging conventional boundaries, she reimagines spaces as profound sites of both connection and introspection.
Bennett’s installations often incorporate participatory elements, encouraging audiences to engage directly with the artwork and the environment. Through her innovative approach, she redefines how we interact with and interpret the spaces we inhabit, creating thought-provoking experiences that linger long after the viewer has departed.
