Reached for: Racing
“When it's fast and dangerous enough, I finally feel alive and, for a moment, sure I have a right to be here.”
It runs as a chase after intensity, a sensation-starved need for speed, risk and exhilaration to feel real, driven by an insulated isolation and an early history of being so assaulted, devalued and ignored that the person has to keep proving their right to exist. The rush is genuine aliveness and it is also a repeated audition for a place on the earth. What it asks for is a right to exist that does not have to be re-won at speed.
Ben-Hur, who staked his whole reclaimed existence on the chariot race, driving at the edge of death because only there did his right to a place feel won. The form implies a task: to have a right to exist off the track.
