"I filmed Flo and Ken Jacobs in 2001 when they visited me in my studio (the School of Artistic Photography, Vienna). Our acquaintance, friendship began in 1974. Flo and Ken had witnessed the wild, avant-garde years of independent film in New York. They are practiced New Yorkers. Maybe that's why I thought I could be actionistic and surprising to them while filming: I took the contents of Ken's breast pocket. Ken got angry, as you can see. I hereby apologize in retrospect".
