Now
Lynda Benglis American
Not on view
The hyperactive effects of mirrors and mirroring play a key role in Now, in which the artist interacts with a prerecorded image of herself displayed on a television monitor, mimicking her dopplegänger’s words, gestures, and sounds. Everything from the visual and aural static to the high-key, artificial colors and the tight crop, which eliminates almost all evidence of the monitor behind Benglis, conspires to confuse the real and the virtual.
