I sincerely think that all we do is to tame this loneliness, keep it away for a moment, but it always comes back. I went to Los Angeles hoping to leave it behind, but it’s coming back, and this series is the witness. During my shoots here, and because I’m in the city of cinema, I had some models posing; they wanted to perform and show they knew how to play… But every time I put them deliberately uncomfortable, talking to them about sad things, about my depressed life. I could feel in them the fear sometimes of being with a “weirdo” and I did not let them go until I had my shot, a brief moment of honesty.
