"Since I first met with Hans Ulrich Obrist on 15.03.2002 in his office at the Musée d'Art moderne de la ville de Paris -talking together about new kinds of slowness…- we tried for almost 10 years to go and visit the Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos at his studio in Athens to record an interview that would continue our conversation on the notion of a new slowness. Even though he confirmed to us a few times to make this interview in Athens or elsewhere it somehow never happened. And, on 24.01.2012, with the sudden, accidental dead of Theo it surprisingly became an unrealized interview. An unrealized conversation the 3 of us share as a long loving look."
