Emily Jacir: You know my work and my obsession with details; I can find a story in a grain of dust. So when they say this is destroyed, we have to throw it out — they’re throwing things in the garbage and we’ve had fights about this.
Monica Maurer: She took from the garbage even pieces as big as a fingernail!
EJ: Some of the footage which is deemed unimportant to me feels so important and so precious, and the disintegration of the film itself is something I’m really interested in as a physical material. I’ve been taking all that out of the trash.
MM: I have a visual approach to film, she has a physical, sensual approach to it.
