WHICH HALF OF YOUR LIFE ARE YOU LIVING?

I never stop moving even when I'm still. By the age of 34 I had lived in 33 different places. "Where are you from?" was a chilling question. I couldn't answer. Instead I have begun to unravel the places I have been by examining the time I have spent. Not time that is measured by the clocks and sundials. Time that propels the soul. Mathematically my mother's life was exactly halfway over in 1970. Philosophically perhaps she hasn't reached the halfway mark, if people maintain her presence through memory. The lifeline theme has been developing in my film and artwork for the past two decades; the line the traveler walks, becomes the traveler. Some people look down at the first half of their lives as if through a frozen wave; an inaccessible sea of memory churns beneath the ice. Others chase the second half of their lives unwittingly, rushing, eternally to their deaths. They push, shove, dodge, and sigh in exasperation at not getting ahead. They are at the center and missing it altogether; driven to distraction. To paraphrase the Modern Art Pioneer, Nam June Paik, "If you could erase your life like a videotape and live it again, would you live differently?" So...Which half of your life are you living?" -eb 10.2005
