"I use my own life and experiences when making films or videos. The more intimate the better-even if clumsy or messy it is still my own. I grew up on Carolee Schneeman's Fuses and I loved the raw intimacy. I do everything myself from shooting, editing to sound because it would be too intrusive to involve a crew." - Victoria
