Homage to Matta-Clark
After more than 30 years of discussion reality finally imposed itself: either demolish the unocupied part of the HU, or it will fall by itself. In September began the mechanic demolition that will separate the two halves of the building.

Why are we like this? (editing notes VI)
There is something that pleases me in several of the film’s interviews. No one there seems to avoid the complexity of the addressed issues. Nobody appears to be looking for something to put the blame on – be it a

Throughout the process, we remembered many people (or better the things that most people did and do). We got closer to some and decided to avoid others. In the big long table, we sat down next to Tarkovsky of ‘Stalker’

And so we built our ‘building’. The deadline was tight and it often seemed we were doing two movies in one. Editing over and over again had imposed its whims, and presented day after day, new challenges. At the end

Round corners make it easy to swallow! (editing notes IV )
A square is not easy to swallow. We see this in the first few attempts with the split screen. Schizophrenia threatened. It was also necessary that the squares would not call too much attention to themselves. That they would not

Two squares (editing notes III)
At once: full and empty, complete and incomplete; life and death, hospital and cemetery. Two halves. Two places. Two actions-situations-locations. Two screens. Two squares. The relationship is obvious, straight. It allowed us to underline the idea of simultaneity, neighborhood. And

When preparing the script, we bet on a construction which would account for the various actions, situations, locations that we had found in both halves of the building. We shot our bet with enthusiasm. We expected the same fulfillment now

The last Friday was terrible. Our editing station, our computer, simply did not turn on. A brand new Mac, less than three months of use … and the black screen, impassive. Help! It happened that way, which explains the gap
