Segalove, in her video, Whatever Happened to My Future?, approaches the subject as Woody Allen might: as a comic/existential dialog between her now 50-something self and her teenage self. She does it by inserting lip-synched questions into actual footage of herself as a teenager, alternating those clips with color footage of her current self responding to questions posed by her younger self. It’s a well-worn conceit, the most famous example being Joyce Maynard’s imaginary letter to her future self, published in The New York Times in 1972 when the writer was an 18-year-old college dropout, on the verge of commencing an affair with the 53-year-old J.D. Salinger. In Segalove’s version of it there’s an interesting twist. About two thirds of the way through the roles reverse; instead of age telling youth how to view life’s mysteries, youth, observing age’s inevitable cave-ins and cop-outs, tells age to buck up and get a grip. The hackneyed dialog hardly matters; what does matter is how the artist uses dueling videos to create the credible illusion of an impossible conversation happening in real-time.
