Not So Still Life #5 (150)

"Not So Still Life #5 (150)": I've made 34 versions so far of "Not So Still Life" movies but I only count them as 5 in my Movieography. These are NSSL1(10) 10:08, NSSL1(15) 15:13, NSSL1(20) 20:39, NSSL1(25) 25:22, NSSL1(30) 30:00, NSSL1(35) 35:04, NSSL1(40) 41:17, NSSL1(40)(sound) 41:26, NSSL1(45) 45:37, NSSL1(47) 47:00; NSSL2(50) 51:23, NSSL2(55) 55:07, NSSL2(60) 1:00:00, NSSL(60)(sound) 1:00:10; NSSL3(65) 1:06:52, NSSL3(70) 1:10:20, NSSL3(75) 1:15:25, NSSL3(80) 1:20:00, NSSL3(85) 1:26:32, NSSL3(90) 1:32:57, NSSL3(90)(sound) 1:33:06; NSSL4(95) 1:36:13, NSSL4(100) 1:40:48, NSSL4(105) 1:45:04, NSSL4(110) 1:50:03, NSSL4(115) 1:56:11, NSSL4(120) 1:59:24, NSSL4(120)(sound) 1:59:32; NSSL5(125) 2:05:21, NSSL5(130) 2:10:22, NSSL5(135) 2:15:05, NSSL5(140) 2:20:22, NSSL5(145) 2:25:14, & the one that these notes are for, NSSL5(150) 2:30:41. With each new number after the "Not So Still Life" part of the title I've tried to add a different type of material to the mix. In this case, it's scans of Mail Art from the 1st of 17+ boxes-full containing material from 1978 to the present, 2023.

The rough timing organization is as follows: stills from movies of mine that're linked together as time-lapse encapsulations of those movies have each still be 6 frames (1/5th of a second), scans of Mail Art are 11 frames (11/30ths of a second), covers of publications that I have work in are 30 frames (1 second), & images taken from my digitized photo albums are 40 frames (1&1/3rd seconds). In reality, those rules are elastic insofar as images from the photo albums could, in some instances, fit into other categories.

The overall idea is that I've tried to order images from my life into a chronology that shows that my life has been far from static. At age 69 I'm still going strong but I'm finding that ageism & other forms of narrow-mindedness are freezing me out of social life more & more. Because of my rejection of other people's rejection of me, I've decided to outlive you all. So there. There's a minor chance I might not make it.
