11 Second Flashback
In this short 11 seconds a entire reality of this time and place comes back. For 11 short seconds I escape the present and travel back. This is the power of home movies.
“The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
To me, these 11 seconds mean everything, this moment exists forever.
Even if I’m here now, this moment opening gifts with my brother at my grandma’s 60th birthday, will always exist. If the distinction between past, present and future is only an illusion then maybe video camera’s are the closest we’ll ever get to breaking through the illusion.
