“My works, both in video and in film, are in the limits of representation and narration. In them there is always a constant concern for the rhythmic and materialistic potential of the images, always close to abstraction or a strongly schematized figuration, where the characters, if there are any, beyond all psychology, are treated as forms, their gestures are Imbricate with the rhythms and textures of the image and populate a kind of interior landscape.” - OS
