Visual art has always been in Hajooj’s blood – from drawing and painting, to photography and finally to film making. In all his artworks he tries to create an atmosphere of music, dialogue, lighting, settings and objects, allowing for characters to emerge – the core of his creation and artistic search, he says. Hajooj adds: “Through my documentary experience I noticed that everything is personal at the end. And when the character gets personal and self-absorbed the camera disappears and an experience is communicated regardless of words or actions.”
