About my work
. . . I photograph.
My pictures often arise during lonesome car rides. Later at the atelier, I process intense experiences with pictures. Recurring themes are again and again love – lifedeath – sorrow about the hatred in our world. The result of my work – a picture – is not reality, but a debate with feelings, thoughts, memories, messages – and my dreams . . .
Hence, I change my pictures by means of paintovers or collages, give them a new meaning. Or I build installations, which I photograph – and then destroy.
Each of my works is then replicated in order to create a surface that is not “tactile” or has a manifest “smell” and therefore creates a certain distance. The photography protects experiences from touch and is intended to allow the spectators their own thoughts . . .
