Birth of a Nation
Genres
Overview
This three-channel video installation by James Benning shows three scenes from David Wark Griffithβs The Birth of a Nation (1915). The two-minute-long screen arrangement of imperceptibly moving images alludes to the beginning of racism. The three screens each show a solider in the American Civil War, black slaves picking cotton in the field, and imposing KKK.
