Alessandra Sanguinetti – Sorry, Welcome

“On the door to our apartment there is a little Turkish sign. I never knew what it said because it was there before I moved in. I only thought of asking after I shot it. It translates to ‘Sorry Welcome.’ That was perfect. Whenever anyone comes to the apartment I am always apologizing because it is such a mess. And family life is so much about saying sorry all the time. You know that Love Story line that love is about never having to say you’re sorry? That’s total bullshit! I am apologizing all the time ‘Sorry I am in a bad mood,’ ‘Sorry I spilled it, sorry I broke it, sorry I didn’t buy the milk! Sorry!’ —Alessandra Sanguinett
