    "The criterium of substance is its activity: impression of young man on roof, march 1999.

    Equation: Art/Architecture = Cinema/Truth. Using the structure of Baroque music and philosophy, the Barman film was attached to the essence of Leibnizer philosophy: the criterium of substance is its activity, its power.

    The alchemist state of this work is situated in the phase of glowing out:  the battle between dark and light, the diagonale. Mixing virtuosity, calculation and emotion."
