Becoming “Ben”
By evanchakroff (Rome, Italy)
A prophetic account of Deleuzian becoming-animal, Jackson’s first solo hit foreshadowed the dramatic metamorphoses that characterized his life as the man transformed himself and the world around him.
Hugely influential, Jackson is represented by a monolithic sculpture overlooking the Earth, visible whenever the moon walks the night sky, yet inaccessible, isolated on his own world.
No literal monument, the becoming-rat of “Ben”‘s protagonist is a metaphor for Jackson’s becomings, and our own.
