This new episode of the Notebooks is entitled The New Desert (4 March 1998 to 26 November 1998). These are years of cinematographic maturity in a world that is searching for its bearings and has not found its bearings following the collapse and disappearance of the USSR and its communist satellites. It was a period of indecision and uncertainty. Are we happy? Is one unhappy? Nobody really knows. I travel, film, watch the events that come before my camera. I travel, film, watch the events that come before my camera. But I only retain the most insignificant or the most unusual, those that do not make history but are my history. My eye lingers on what others don't look at, on the banality of things, on what television and mainstream cinema ignore.
