Ronald Ventura and Juan Caguicla's Interlude is a result of a collaboration between the painter and photographer that emphasized the processes involved in creating the work as much as it was of their respective artistic sensibilities. With Caguicla handling the photography, they did a photo-shoot (which Ventura co-art directed with him, applying body paint on the model among other things). The result of this was then handed over to Ventura to do additional art straight onto the print itself. This was then photographed again and processed by Caguicla; then sent yet again to Ventura.

Due to the elongated period of crafting the picture, the dialogue between the two artists was kept visual, an ongoing conversation without words, resulting in a feral game of exquisite corpse. Though distinct in their individual work, this piece unites their talents to produce a crepuscular vision of beauty‚ capturing both its blinding luminescence and encroaching darkness, the terrible glamour of their muses.
