I am not a very organized person. I believe chaos plays a significant role in creativity and embrace it in the artistic process. And, even if this is true, my memory is impeccable and organized. It is as if I am a big apothecary cabinet, and each drawer is filled with experiences, lessons, and thoughts.

Time does fly, and if certain things change, others don’t. Eight years ago, I shot a video trailer for a show I was opening in New York. The show is long gone, but the trailer remains. Not only have I found memories of shooting it, but I am still very proud of the result.

In this second life, I want a fresh set of eyes to understand how to use it.
