When Knowledge Becomes Rigid, It Stops Living.

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.

I Believe Art Has To Take Responsibility But It Should Not Give Up Being Art.

History Speaks To Artists. It Changes The Artist's Thinking And Is Constantly Reshaping It Into Different And Unexpected Images.

What Does The Artist Do? He Draws Connections. He Ties The Invisible Threads Between Things. He Dives Into History, Be It The History Of Mankind, The Geological History Of The Earth Or The Beginning And End Of The Manifest Cosmos.

Art Really Is Something Very Difficult. It Is Difficult To Make, And It Is Sometimes Difficult For The Viewer To Understand. It Is Difficult To Work Out What Is Art And What Is Not Art.
