Five Cats And A Woman. That Is

I Am Not A Commercial Industry Creator. I Don't Believe In Making Art To Make Money.

If The Picture Is Not An Artistic Picture, It's Show, Like Television. Television Series Are Very Funny, But It's A Collective Production. An Industrial Art. A Car Is Not Made By A Person, It's Made By A Group Of Creators, Only To Go To The Market To Buy Your Cigarettes. That Is A Car - They Are Not A Big Art, They Are A Little Art.

I Don't Think Of An Actor. I Think In The Character, And Then I Search For The Actor. Usually I'm Thinking Without Names, Because They Will Change My Idea. No Big Egos. If I Want Egos - Just Mine. That Is Enough.

I Grew Up In The North Of Chile, And This Is Why There Are A Lot Of Religious Symbols In My Pictures, Because The Catholic Church In Latin America Is Very Strong. If I Was Born In Japan, I Would Speak About Buddhism, But I Was Born In South America.

What I Am Trying To Do When I Use Symbols Is To Awaken In Your Unconscious Some Reaction. I Am Very Conscious Of What I Am Using Because Symbols Can Be Very Dangerous. When We Use Normal Language We Can Defend Ourselves Because Our Society Is A Linguistic Society, A Semantic Society. But When You Start To Speak, Not With Words, But Only With Images, The People Cannot Defend Themselves.
