"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"There are many events happening every day, especially when you are living in a country like Colombia where catastrophe seems like one single unending event and one catastrophe erases a previous catastrophe, and so on. I think it is important to open this space of suspended time where you can think, where you can reflect on something that happened to one individual."
