Gourt Home::Gourt :: Sadie Benning
Sadie Benning is a video maker, visual artist, and musician.
She first made her name in the early 1990s as a teenage video maker from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her earliest works, made from the time she was 15, were shot with the Fisher-Price Pixelvision camera, which recorded pixellated, black and white video images. They deal with her experiences in finding and refining her identity as a lesbian. Her work was twice included in the prestigious Whitney Biennial. Later in the decade, she joined Le Tigre, the feminist post-punk band whose members include ex-Bikini Kill singer/guitarist Kathleen Hanna and zine editor Johanna Fateman. She has since left the band.
Her father is experimental filmmaker James Benning.
