ABOUT ATTANASIO'S TIME BASED WORK

"Robert Attanasio's works vary radically from each other, proceeding as they do not from a camera or an editing technique but from fresh germinal "recipes" he dreams up; each film is an entirely new mix of the given sights and sounds of the world and the means of cinema. His "signature" rises from the diversity not as a look...but a unique style of thinking. Often one senses a bemused "what would happen if" mischievousness at the idiosyncratic heart of his creations. He does truly unexpected things with the most transparent of subject matters, making for delicious mystifications. His substance is in his aimlessness, or rather in the atmospheres set into motion about the place in the film usually reserved for aims. Robert Attanasio is one subtle, non-stuffy, "mind-expanding" cine-troublemaker".
