19 876 steg i Auschwitz / Birkenau
"I filmed a lot when I was in Birkenau. And much of it looks really good. Why does it look good? Because of the straight lines? Aiming my camera downwards, directed to my feet became a kind of non-figurative anti-shaping that resulted in the only thing I could show from this place without indulging in an over-exposed imagery of the camps or in the contradictory attraction of Nazi aesthetics. It’s the process before we end up in the concentration camps that I feel we should focus on. The same process that might be repeating itself right now."
