“Blind Ambition (2012) is not made like a film. It has no decoupage or preplanned cuts, per se. It is shot on a cell phone: I create the situation, put the actors in it, and shoot. I edit later. But, as I edit, something remains hidden.” - Extract from a conversation mediated by Shahira Issa for Kaleidoscope
Blind Ambition premiered at dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, 2012.
