Project
"I arrived with very objective concerns about what I was going to shoot, but sometimes when you arrive those concerns are gone or they don’t make sense and they where only ilusions. I prefer to accept what the places give me than to force what I want them to tell me.” Transcript from the interview made by Isabel Alves Coelho and Rúben Monfort of Yuzin Azores. Art Residency organized by Pico do Refúgio with the support from 9500 Cineclube and Yuzin Açores.
