Dominick Fernow: If you use something about serial killers, then the only possible explanation is that you’re a serial killer or you want to be. If you address drugs, then you must be using those drugs, and so on and so forth.

Fernow: I didn’t want to have that disclaimer.
Repossi: Obviously art exhibitions, discovering new artists, looking to the past, tribal groups, even nature and landscapes.

Repossi: When I started working I slowly realized that, first, I was very passionate about the image—something you see in a dream, how you see a silhouette, how you picture an imaginary world.
Fernow: I don’t think it’s an easy thing to do, and I don’t think I’ve done it enough yet.

Fernow: The line between knowing and not knowing is minuscule.
Repossi: I'd say maybe minimal, but I don't know what minimal means.
