« This is one of the last images I filmed in Gaza: the gaze of a child, frozen by pain. A child who is no longer here. »

« More than ten years have passed and I still ask myself whether it was worth capturing that moment. That image. What did I really contribute by sharing it? What did I change ? »

« Any decision we make in cinematic language is a moral decision. A tracking shot, a zoom, even a simple gesture with the camera can portray us in ways we might not wish. »

« That day I made a mistake. I violated that family’s privacy when I turned the camera toward their window. In that moment I felt fear. Not fear of what might happen to me, but fear of myself, for having been capable of crossing that line. »

« Filming these images raises more questions than answers for me. As a documentary filmmaker, I constantly question my role. What intention lies behind capturing other people’s pain? Am I simply trying to document reality, or am I expecting a response from the audience? »
Carles Bover

« Now, almost ten years later, I return to these images to question my role, my gaze, and my responsibility as a filmmaker. »
