This is an investigation of the artist’s aging body, its slowing processes of rejuvenation and speeding processes of decay. When he looks in the mirror, he sees his bags and wrinkles looking back. He asks his girlfriend to document his appearance from her perspective. In his contemplation of her footage, he recalls a line from the poet Randall Jarrell. “A face is its own fate.” We can never truly see our own face, only its reflection or a recorded image.
