"This series was made at the time when a new TV format, for high-definition viewing, was being launched. I had seen it at a Photokino fair in Germany. The wooden frames around the works had the screen dimensions of the TV screens.

Each screen shows an interaction between two elements: the street and a woman, my father and my aunt Rita, my two grandmothers, Kapitein Zeppos and Ariane Despinal, David Lynch and Isabella Rossellini, a criminal couple killed in a taxi... Images from my personal life and from the mass media are treated in the same way."
