“The overall vagueness of the small size, the blue haziness, and the wondering camera eye all get so sharply and unexpectedly focused by the insistent and penetrating 'mom take a picture of me!' It made me think about the seeming impenetrably dense volume that past time usually seems to be, and how your clip leaps over, under or through it somehow with a message that it is clear in its insistence, if not its meaning. In the case of that VHS clip, the camera actually moves away and only catches a slight glimpse of your snow angel, despite your insistence, and your fall to the earth like the tiny figure hitting the water in Bruegel’s Landscape the fall of Icarus...but your brother is the one who is listening to you, probably because he is younger and wants to follow in your snow angel footprints. He is the one who 'hears' you. It’s his close attention that makes him a 'copy cat', the sincerest of childhood compliments.” --Paul Berger |
