I have never been
able, really, to figure out where my life begins and where it ends, I have
never never been able to figure it all out, what’s all about, what all means,
so when I began now to put all this rolls of film together, to string them
together, the first idea was to keep them chronological, but then I gave up and
I just began splicing them together by chance, the way I found them on
the shelf. Because I really don’t know where any piece of my life really belongs,
so let it be, let it go, just by pure chance, disorder, there’s is some
coherence some kind of order in it, order of its own, we can do not really
understand them, same as I never understood life around me, the real life, as
they say, or the real people, I never understood them, I still do not
understand them, and I do not really want to understand them.
