Experiencing Interruptions?

Private Absence

Every private room could be a meeting point as long as there is the right timing. We often look for what we are searching for, in something that we have imagined somehow, so often something else that could be considered similar give us the feeling of absence of what we finally think we are looking for.

Director Statement

As I dancer i experiment and work on improvisation . Until now the films I have directed are also based on improvisation with a specific concept. After the filming I am interested to see how through the editing I can make up a story and give a feeling and an atmosphere. Although I always have somehow a story in my mind I really enjoy to discover a new story through the final material.
