My grandmother had a strength and a love of life so great that they led me to believe that some of us are able to escape death and become immortal.
When she died I wanted to save her. I decided to film her and I wasn’t going to let the lack of a body hold me back. I filmed a ghost so that I could then return her to the realm of the living, as Orpheus wished to do with Eurydice. Arming myself with every tool I could find, I created a world in which she continued to live. It is a world, a film, made of many different times and registers. Making it was like constructing a timepiece – a timepiece built from love.
This film was a journey towards resurrection and is my way of giving my grandmother the immortality that I believe is rightfully hers.
