PW: I think my film is in fact a double documen- tary. It’s a documentary about what I film, and it’s a documentary about myself filming it. It’s a two-way mirror. A hologram. A holographic image is where you take two images, and you make them interfere, and you get three-dimensional time and space. The point is that you can’t separate the two sides out. I didn’t go up to anyone and say, “Oh, no. Can you move over please?” You know, I wasn’t a fascist. I just went, sat in the corner and filmed. As you do in a
newsreel, as you do in a microscope. I was making a documentary film on what was going on in New York. But why have I got myself in the bloody film? Because I wasn’t prepared to show all the rest and claim it was true without saying, “Hold on there. Look, I’m in this up to my teeth. Here’s me holding the camera. Here’s me on the editing machine.” And I’m chopping it up smaller and smaller and smaller until bang. It’s gone. The film has been destroyed. And I have been destroyed.
