Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.06,0:00:10.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Carrie Mae Weems: "Roaming"]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.72,0:00:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that architecture,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.50,0:00:23.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in its essence--
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.35,0:00:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much of the fabric of it--
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.27,0:00:29.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is very much about power.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.69,0:00:35.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we think about a place like Rome--
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.03,0:00:38.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I did a residency a few years ago--
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.93,0:00:41.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what one is made to feel
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.56,0:00:43.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the power of the state
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.40,0:00:47.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in relationship to the lower subject.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.34,0:00:49.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To the lower subject--
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.70,0:00:51.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the general populace.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.27,0:00:54.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You are always aware that you are, sort of,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.33,0:00:59.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a minion in relationship to this enormous edifice--
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.40,0:01:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the edifice of power.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.70,0:01:05.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is this relationship of power to you?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.03,0:01:08.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what is your relationship to power?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.26,0:01:10.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And how do you contest it?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.60,0:01:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And how do you try to make
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.07,0:01:17.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,someone aware of it?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.90,0:01:21.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you crawl towards the church.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.07,0:01:22.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[LAUGHS]
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.90,0:01:28.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so I thought, then,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.10,0:01:31.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perhaps if I could use my own skin
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.40,0:01:33.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a sort of series of performances.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.90,0:01:36.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That I could use my own body as a way
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.60,0:01:39.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of leading the viewer into those spaces--
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.96,0:01:41.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,highly aware--
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.96,0:01:44.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and challenging those spaces.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.46,0:01:45.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Challenging them,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.30,0:01:48.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and marking them for really what they are.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.50,0:01:50.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That they are, of course, monumental,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.100,0:01:52.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they're beautiful,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.06,0:01:55.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the edifices are extraordinary.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.53,0:01:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, I'm not confused about what they're supposed to mean,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.99,0:02:02.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what they're supposed to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.60,0:02:07.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe most people are sort of aware of them, too.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.67,0:02:09.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They just sort of accept--
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.42,0:02:11.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they submit to them.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.53,0:02:14.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm, of course, more interested in challenging them,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.10,0:02:17.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even when I think that they're sort of sublime in their way.
