"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"Early on when I started making theater productions there were video components mixed in, which I used to ‘spatialize’ the performance, so that led me to really have a need to start working with film and video. (‘Spatialization’ was a device that was very immediate- a way to make a small room or the space of a theater very large, and to suggest other spaces within a small space.)"
