.... how to tell a story about story telling?
the structure of "alter biographies" is non-linear. associative would be the best way to describe it.
biographies and biographical research is something i was interested in for some years now. but my attention was/is not to explore it in the way of reporting about it.
the structure of the radioshow develops from one piece of audio to the next there is no causality from the beginning to the end. there is no morality or conclusion other than asking questions.
music has the function of illustrating and it avoids too much linearity in the show too.
it is interesting that "biographies" are telling about environments, situations.. about decisions and emotions.
unlike an "alter ego" an alternative biographie would ask for the settings of events and decisions.
if those events are true or imaginated is irrelevant.
the longer i worked on that project the more i learned that it is not that easy to think of "alternative" events than i thought it would.
hm.. maybe it is time to start telling the stories of your life in different versions.. to find out what would have been possible .. as there is not one "truth" to a situation or event whatsoever.
