The Ceiling Outside: The Science and Experience of the Disrupted Mind
Noga Arikha
As
her mother slips into the fog of dementia, a philosopher grapples with
the unbreakable links between our bodies and our sense of self.
A diabetic woman
awakens from a coma having forgotten the last ten years of her
life. A Haitian immigrant has nightmares that begin bleeding into his
waking hours. A retired teacher loses the use of her right hand due
to pain of no known origin.
Noga Arikha began studying
these patients and their confounding symptoms in order to explore how
our physical experiences inform our identities. Soon
after she initiated her work, the question took on unexpected urgency,
as Arikha’s own mother began to show signs of Alzheimer’s disease.
Weaving
together stories of her subjects’ troubles and her mother’s
decline, Arikha searches for some meaning in the science she has set out
to study. The result is an unforgettable journey across the
ever-shifting boundaries between ourselves and each other.
