Art Is Longing. You Never Arrive, But

I Am Interested In Reconstructing Symbols. It's About Connecting With An Older Knowledge And Trying To Discover Continuities In Why We Search For Heaven.

When, At The End Of The 1960s, I Became Interested In The Nazi Era, It Was A Taboo Subject In Germany. No One Spoke About It Anymore, No More In My House Than Anywhere Else.

If I Do Something That Depresses, It's Not Because I'm Depressed, But Because Political Life And History Is Depressing.

I Was Interested In Transcendence From A Very Early Age. I Was Interested In What Was Over There, What Was Behind Life. So When I Had My First Communion I Was Very Disappointed. I Had Expected Something Amazing And Surprising And Spiritual. Instead All I Got Was A Bicycle. That Wasn't What I Was After At All.

When I See A New Artist I Give Myself A Lot Of Time To Reflect And Decide Whether It's Art Or Not.
