Director Statement

I was interested in the language of Varela's poem and the topics of the poem: the difficulty of getting to the poem, to its essence, the difficulty of the creative process, the impossibility of understanding it.

'Slowness is beauty' is a very important phrase (I was tempted to use it as the title of the video), for me one of the most important of the poem and also a call out to reflection about contemporary velocity and the superficiality of all things surround us.

I wanted to create a slow, sober, conceptual video, based on the expression of the magnificent actress Ana Rodríguez Carlson, who also reads the poem in a profound and fragile way.

This was my last video made in Stockholm, where I have been developing my artistic career the last four years, and where I recorded 13 videopoems (almost half of my entire production), and four musical videoclips.
