About:

My interest in film is not in the expression of ideas or emotions. Instead, I think of film as a tool for consciousness. I am drawn to the complex relationships that are generated between film, maker, and viewer. Addressing these relationships is part of the work. The works are therefore catalytic in nature. They attempt a confrontation with the traditional codes of language and at the same time the codes of social order, in particular, the coding of the past, of history.

They are neither prescriptive responses to the dominant political or poetic practices. Rather, in opposition to the conception of the artist as visionary, prophet, or star they assert a different kind of authority. They invite interpretation and require a responsive viewer. They are, in fact, anti-authoritarian, and remain single voices of an incomplete dialogue.
