• “Although camera shutter speeds are comparably fast, the camera can catch intense slowness better than the human eye which works with shorter “shutter speeds” so that a film can arise from pictures before the mind’s eye. This slowness can bring a series of impressions onto a photograph which we usually perceive only unconsciously. For example, as we drive through an illuminated city, the lights often become blurred into lines and dizzying surfaces of color, and precisely these (unconscious) perceptions can be captured by my reductionist photo-philosophy and then be looked at as long as desired—as with the photograph Brush-Hour. The desire for an extended viewing period is, after all, one of my measures of quality.”
• “The works cannot be repeated and are not altered afterwards. They are unique in the history of their origin as, for example, the photograph of the Brandenburg Gate Dance of the Quadriga. The quadriga first started to “dance” through longer exposure time and my “handwriting” guiding the camera by hand—without a tripod and in basic setting.”
• “Each picture required a lot of preparation and traveling – the objects are often landmarks but are presented with their original “power”, hopefully capturing the essence that made them famous originally”
• “I do not do this for a living, therefore I do not need to follow the market or repeat something that attracted interest initially. Thus I can stay true to my own inspiration”
• Paul Klee once said: “art does not reflect the visible, but makes visible”;
• “In contract to concrete photography, more abstract motifs allow viewers to bring in their own imagination –indefinite combinations are thus possible”
