I compare my filmmaking method to the process of dreaming. First, the brain collects emotional impressions and practical information. Then, the following associative composing of these fragments.
When the dream or the film is shown, it is not a truth or a lie but a translation from one language to another.

In the Degree Exhibition, I am showing a project where a friend in exile is translating from Russian to English. I imagine the languages as different rooms in an apartment. He is showing me the poem Now summer is gone by Arsenij Tarkovskij. He goes into the Russian room and gets it. He brings it with him to the English room where we are together. He leaves a trace on it.
