I like filming rot,
leftovers, waste,

1:10:19
mold and trash.
1:10:25
But I never forget
1:10:27
those who shop in the leftovers
and trash when the market is over.

1:10:43
It's past 2 o'clock.
1:10:44
I've done my shopping
and I linger on

1:10:48
until the market is over.
1:10:51
I notice a man with a large bag
eating on the spot.

1:11:01
I would see him now and then,
always with his bag,

1:11:05
always eating.
1:11:13
The day he was eating parsley
1:11:15
I went over to him.
1:11:17
Do you often eat parsley?
1:11:19
Sometimes yes. Parsley's
full of vitamin C and E,

1:11:23
beta carotene, zinc,
magnesium, it's excellent.

1:11:28
His answer amazed me.
1:11:31
Over the following weeks,
I filmed him

1:11:34
repeatedly, with or without sound,
and he talked in snatches.

1:11:40
I pick up food at the markets
1:11:43
and I save money that way.
1:11:47
I'm mostly a vegetarian,
1:11:50
so I find what I need.
1:11:55
I don't make much,
1:11:57
but I still have to eat.
