Through years of playing diligently with the visible and audible material that presents itself within the four sides of the image, the making of images became my profession. But what should you film all day long? In order to point my camera at other people I have to conquer certain disgust, because the image paralyzes life – limitation and falsification set in immediately. Professionalism is the conquering of that disgust: to wrestle some life from it in spite of that, to get closer to people, to bridge the distance. When I write, I hardly hit upon the problem of disgust. Writing is not my profession; it is an activity to link other activities.
