WORKING CREDO
Rules provide an important working principle for me. I invent rules. A new set for each film– most often with the purpose of delimitating my technical possibilities. What the camera is allowed to do, and what it is not. What the editing can do, and what it cannot. This restrictive discipline is of crucial importance to my work. It is like making mental optics with which things and events in life may be viewed in a particular way. It is a way to create order out of chaos. It is a frame, a Golden Section that focuses and elaborates segments within brief instants of time.
