"When does the dinner table go from being prepared to being set? 

"When exactly is that moment when things shift from intention to fact? 

"As an artist I have always questioned these facts, but in my second career as a video and film editor, I am often asked to simply move these facts around. 

"But what about the unease, excitement or even frustration that we feel before everything arrives in its place? 

"Life #2 is a small attempt at illustrating just that. "
