"from life recalls themes and elements that are always present in Buñuel: marionettes and mutilations that he introduced in the script for a film version of Hamlet, which was never made; that are present in La duchessa d'Alba e Goya, and, in the film L'age d'Or as a hallucination around the dead hand. Light in Cowan's work does not arouse emotion, does not reflect a body, but is itself a body and creates a space. It is a space that strongly recalls Pasolini's reflection - which emerge in the film Che cosa sono le nuvole (What are the Clouds. 1967)..."
