"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."
"Method Man" (2004)
"I have a labor-intense practice- cutting and cutting, which is grunt work, almost mechanical. That’s foreground. But what’s going on in the background is a thinking process that’s very slow, almost like a meditation. Improvisation is what I like. I limit myself materially- another way of slowing myself down. When there are too many choices, I get confused. So I tell myself something like, ‘I’m only going to use black paper.’ It puts pressure on my creativity to make that black paper sing."
