Rachael Benson is a video artist and performer who applies existential views to her performance of living. Constantly uncomfortable and apprehensive with her surroundings, she documents her interpretation of this emotional state. Viewing the performance as if she were a different person, she edits her documentation to further distill the meaning of her emotions. Born and raised just outside of Seattle, Benson is a 2019 Bachelors of Fine Arts graduate at Cornish College of the Arts and a 2023 Masters of Film and Video graduate from the California Institute of the Arts.
