Ben Clement and Sebastian de la Cour (1981, United Kingdom & 1980, Denmark) work together as the artist duo benandsebastian. Their work takes the form of an ongoing conversation around gaps and paradoxes in systems of thinking, materialised in constellations of obsessively detailed mechanical theatres, architectural fragments and institutional furniture. benandsebastian are preoccupied with how absences, for example in the form of lost objects, broken artefacts or excluded narratives, can encourage doubt and hold the potential of opening up new conceptions of history.benandsebastian were educated at Cambridge University, University College London and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and have exhibited in museums and institutions internationally.
