Shannon Jackson

While I was in Detroit on our road trip, we went to the MOCAD. There was a video artist exhibited there by the name of Shannon Jackson. She had video titled "White Noises". There was something she said in the video that caught my attention and I found it interesting. I just found an article she wrote about the work so I was able to find the word for word section of what I found interesting. Here it is:


The question of where to begin is an interesting one.
Because when you go to tell a story-
about something that happened to you, I mean-
you realize that while you were experiencing it,
you didn't know you were in a story.
And so consequently,
you didn't know it had begun
when it all began.
