“When I recall those months, that I spent immersed inside layers of video, searching for something, which I never found—Zone reveals little of the long experiment— I think of the words of Michelangelo Antonioni:

“Under the revealed image, there is another one which is more faithful to reality, and under this one there is yet another, and again another under this last one, down to the true image of that absolute, mysterious reality that nobody will ever see. Or perhaps, not until the decomposition of every image, every reality.”

I had failed to get beneath the shallow surface of video … I wanted to push the experiment further, this time passing through other people’s eyes.”
