hello friends–

i wanted to share with you this film i made last year called “i don’t mind waiting until it gets better,” which was shot over a twenty year period, 1996-2016, and assembled last spring.

in compiling the footage, i was thinking a lot at the time about the idea of memory and how it becomes impacted by trauma, and what recovery - or “better” - might be, especially when certain memories are unrecoverable or damaging to recover. scenes from other films jut in and out of the footage that i shot in an attempt to “fill in the gaps” of the things i wasn’t able to document myself.

it’s very personal and so as per usual i have no idea if it will resonate with other people at all but who knows maybe it will say something to you. <3

its a really cool concept, like a 45 minute mosaic. without knowing anything about your life most of it feels like a stream of consciousness of events that are important but they’re all out of order. I think an accompanying piece that gives some details about the people and events in it might ground it more but i feel like that would also take away from what the work is trying to do

[hymnher-deactivated20181230]

yeah tbh i tried to write something to go with it, to try to explain it or something, and it just felt kind of like then i was forcing some kind of narrative onto people rather than just letting them feel along with the work, which i prefer. it’s meant to be experiential i guess - showing, i guess, what’s it like inside my head… i sat on this for almost a year because i really made it mostly for myself and wasn’t sure about sharing it… i am glad i did, it’s been nice getting responses from people

Places where reality is a bit altered:

[solareveille]

playgrounds at night

rest stops on highways

deep in the mountains

[ghostfiish]

early in the morning wherever it’s just snowed

trails by the highway just out of earshot of traffic

schools during breaks

those little beaches right next to ferry docks

bowling alleys

[genesisdoes-moved]

unfamiliar mcdonalds on long roadtrips

your friends living room once everybody but you is asleep

laundromats at midnight

• any target • churches in texas • abandoned 7/11’s • your bedroom at 5 am • hospitals at midnight • warehouses that smell like dust • lighthouses with lights that don’t work anymore • empty parking lots • ponds and lakes in suburban neighborhoods • rooftops in the early morning • inside a dark cabinet

[ringingofraevolution]

galeries in art museums that are empty except for you 

the lighting section of home depot

stairwells

[doomgeneration1995]

•hospital waiting rooms •airports from midnight to 7am • bathrooms in small concert venues

I just got the weirdest feeling I swear

[the-crepes-of-wrath]

OK LISTEN THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS!!!

A lot of these places are called liminal spaces - which means they are throughways from one space to the next. Places like rest stops, stairwells, trains, parking lots, waiting rooms, airports feel weird when you’re in them because their existence is not about themselves, but the things before and after them. They have no definitive place outside of their relationship to the spaces you are coming from and going to. Reality feels altered here because we’re not really supposed to be in them for a long time for think about them as their own entities, and when we do they seem odd and out of place.

The other spaces feel weird because our brains are hard-wired for context - we like things to belong to a certain place and time and when we experience those things outside of the context our brains have developed for them, our brains are like NOPE SHIT THIS ISN’T RIGHT GET OUT ABORT ABORT. Schools not in session, empty museums, being awake when other people are asleep - all these things and spaces feel weird because our brain is like “I already have a context for this space and this is not it so it must be dangerous.” Our rational understanding can sometimes override that immediate “danger” impulse but we’re still left with a feeling of wariness and unease. 

Listen I am very passionate about liminal spaces they are fascinating stuff or perhaps I am merely a nerd.

I, for one, appreciate your passion for liminal spaces and thank you for explaining it to the rest of us.
