I feel quite distant from the text I just wrote, and distant is a positive description in my case. I have always stayed away from making autobiographic work and will continue to do so. Each time I tried to ‘inject’ an autobiographic aspect into my work it failed in what it had set out to achieve. So in this case being distant is a conscious decision.
Even though the recent footage and photographs are taken in the space that I, temporarily, inhabit, these are not my spaces, not my memories and traces. They belong to everybody who has ever entered his room and nobody simultaneously. This is a space that is inhabited temporarily, every time. Therefore, nobody can describe it a theirs and what I document and write about is not mine either.
