“Speed is a means to celebrate the perfection
of stillness.1 Speed is at the core of the
Bombay filmmaking machine.”2 —Doug Aitken

i've been reading about his work 'Into the sun' 1999 which is a video projection of appropriated or found footage. The video is a mixed together but what I find more interesting is his use of his subject in a regurgitated manner very directly.
He also talks a lot about speed and motion in relation to cinema.
