For veteran photojournalist Jim Lo Scalzo, what is the evidence of his existence? Is it scores of photographs from all over the world — of outcastes in India, the frozen wonder of Antarctica, the last days of Saddam Hussein — or could it be something else?

Evidence of My Existence is a visual accompaniment to Lo Scalzo's revealing written memoir. In a deftly-constructed collage of photographs, video, and super-8 film, Lo Scalzo explores the manic drive behind his wanderlust, and exposes what may be the price paid for such a life. We watch as he dives into the lives of others across the globe — even as his heart stays tied to the life he leaves behind.
