How to be Both

25 minutes

One voice seems to belong to a Renaissance-era artist named Francescho, reflecting on his training, his experiences with art, people, and even his horse, all while grappling with themes of identity, memory, and the ephemeral nature of things. The other voice belongs to a modern-day individual named George, whose narrative explores grief, family relationships, and the ways we interact with art and information in the contemporary world, sometimes drawing parallels to the themes presented in the historical passages. The overall work seems to be an exploration of how past and present, individual experience and collective understanding, are intertwined.
