 Benders was present with 2 poems in the Top 20, but sent the Sesame Street character 'Bert' to collect the nomination.The jury took several ressentimental jibes at Bert, which he recorded and remixed into a video named '36 Euro'.Much of Benders’ work combines not only literary styles, such as lyrical, conceptual, satirical, and absurdist influences; his work also moves across genres, media and modes.
