The concept of Time is fascinating to me and is the soul of Trace. The recording of time through movement is an act of tracing. How does movement record time? How does movement and time partner together in order to create an experience with implications on the future while denoting the past?
When I think of tracing the word journey comes to mind. Journey is a time-based word that discusses one's pathway in, with, or through (but not around) time. In time, gives a hierarchy of value and size in which time exists even when I or my journey do not. With time gives me the sense of partnering with time and also a choice to engage or disengage time--however, time always exists, or that I do not use it or consider it in my journey. Through time asserts that time is a force in which to be acted upon.
I feel that tracing codifies the journey and, in turn, passage of time. This passage of time can be a document of my existence. But how?
The present always exists. But, the past may never be recorded and so it will not be remembered when the participants in the present, that created the past, do not exist in the future. It brings up the age-old question: "If a tree in the forest falls, but no one is around to hear it, did the tree really fall?"
There has to be a device in which to outline, denote, record, trace the present, so that there is a knowing or understanding in the future. So that there is a future.
