Bennie Flores Ansell | I 2K-Imelda 2000
Thu Jun 22, 2000 - Sat Jul 29, 2000
Bennie Flores Ansell has created a unique photographic installation titled I 2K- Imelda 2000, after the show’s largest work, a huge swarm of 2000 shoe-butterflies. Ansell has photographed the most outrageous, colorful, exotic, and torturous sets of high-heeled shoes that she can find. The shoes have been placed directly on a scanner for maximum, if flattened, realistic rendering on transparent plastic.
Edutube HCC Video on Fish Out of Water - Boston Student Trip 2017
Professor Bennie Ansell took six students and Professor Corey Ackelmire to Boston for the unveiling and continuing installation of her piece in the Boston ICA Art Lab. Ansell created a laser-cut stencil in wood of a flying fish so the museum visitors could draw on acetate film, then color and cut out for installation to represent their own journey by writing their country of origin on the fish. The flying fish are then pinned to the wall according to a map created by Ansell to make an ever-growing swarm on the walls of the Art Lab until September.

We sat down to talk about the digitalizing of photography, high heels, flying fish, looking with two eyes, air plants, and the journeys we’ve all made to get where we are today.
