I want art to stand strong, to display how it manipulates its audience. I want it to take up their expectations, their sense of the world, their predispositions toward the way they think or use their language, and then to use these things perversely, politically, colorfully, “expressively.”

Estas prácticas fílmicas interrogan las imágenes y los sonidos tencológicos vindicando un espíritu autodidacta, narraciones atípicas, formulaciones abstractas y temporalidades inusitadas.
