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."

"At the Whitney, I had space and I had rooms, and the rooms were very suggestive. It was a new kind of project for me. I'd done video installation before, but just video. And so to have a space to work with was great."
