Capture the World
“ A few hours after sending Matthew my video, I receive one from him, and then suddenly it’s a thing. I reply; he sends another. Me. Him. Me. Him. Two days’ worth of videos where we say nothing, where we live inside a world of silence, and yet the videos speak more than words ever could. It’s the strangest thing I’ve ever done, which is saying a lot because … well, Mom. It’s work, all of these symbolic gestures that I have to decode in my head, and yet somehow, it makes the videos more. Thi...s incredible thing I doubt I’ll ever experience again. This incredible thing I doubt I’ll ever be a part of away from Matthew. He’s invited me into his world where words mean less than feeling. His videos are a collection of images; these things I know define him. Things he wants and things he needs. Him in bed patting an empty spot next to him. Him walking through his house surrounded by chaos like he’s the eye in the center of a hurricane, silence barging through noise.MoreLess
