AN ANATOMY
February, 2000
This is connected to the idea of an anatomical reference as text and navigation and creates the story of a life. Seeing images and hearing sounds of daily life ranging from cars to laughter to rain, I want to build a picture of a human through the fact of a body and the fact of time and all of the million malleable things that take place on that body, day to day. The longer one stays, a story is built of this person and her life and her time. Time is everywhere, unseen but felt. There is a beginning but no end, only time. I want to give visual representation to the passage of time and leave the viewer in his or her intimate space staring at the screen to ponder it and to build in his or her mind the picture of this person and her personality. I want this piece to function as a momento mori, a myth, a dream, a vision.
