Time Keeps Me Young But It Can’t Heal My Heart is a deliberation on the nature of film, friendships and a homage to letting go and moving on.
Filmed in an underground car park in Paris in 2003, Marina Faust reads a text that blurs the boundaries between three different languages. English is punctuated by German which is then interrupted by French and in Faust’s steady, multilingual and stream of consciousness reading, the protagonist attempts to articulate the complexity of her emotions.
In Time Keeps Me Young But It Can’t Heal My Heart Faust is simultaneously the subject and orchestrator of her video and, as with all of her moving image works from the mid 1990s, Faust utilities this form of simultaneity to further the form of self portraiture.
Surrounded, observed, filmed and mourned by the people that constitute her social circle, Faust works her way under and out of a silver car tarpaulin, as blindly as she is navigating an emotion with an unnamed counterpart, starting, stopping and repeating. This motive of transformation and the difficulty of starting anew is one that is echoed in the audible structure of the video work, an improvised staccato arrangement of chords.
