Benjamin L. Aman is a french sound & visual artist born in Rouen. Through different medias : drawings, installations, recordings, writings, actions, Aman's work finds its place in between different levels of perception, combining a physical, a mental and an emotional approach. Using technics of collage, constructions, space shifts, Aman creates ambiguous zones where reflexions and life are organised, wanting to address himself to each visitor in his intimate relationship with time and space. As a sound performer Aman uses analog electronics, tapes, light, space, actions, static compositions and overlapped plans, to place the audience in the middle of a suspended or unstable construction.

Since 2005, BLA's work has been exhibited in numerous group exhibitions (Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, CAC Nei Liicht Luxembourg, Selasar Sunaryo Museum Bandung, Poirel Gallery Nancy) and solo ones (Styx Projects, Projektwerkstatt in Leipzig). Since 2007, BLA has carried out many performances and toured all over Europe. He was invited to festivals and radio shows (Epsilonia in Paris, Le tétraèdre in Bruxelles, The Wire on Air, Resonance FM in London...) and performed at the 10th Berlin Biennale, Transmediale X, Club Transmediale (CTM), Nu Substance Indonesia.
