"Derek Jarman died after 19012 days from his birth. I wish I was able to see - and let people see - through the eyes of someone who is not there, through the memories of his life. "On June 23rd, 2004 I was sent to Rome by James Mackay for a tribute show dedicated to Derek Jarman, ten years after his death. During Simon Fisher Turner's live performance some Super8 films shot by the director were being shown on the screen. I decided to shoot them and take some details which I later edited in a new vision, my LS19012, the direction of someone else's direction. I think this is the most experimental work I have ever made, not only for the technique and the language I have used, but also for the emotions and strong feelings I felt while making the film. At some point of the editing, I felt as if I was on a trance, as if what I was dealing with came from another world. All that energy began to take the shape of my personal tribute to Derek Jarman, a master and guide in the expression of one's soul." (D. Pepe)
