That's why I always question this sense. The feeling of home really requires a lot of trust. It requires you to identify with it, which I always find myself very contradictory to.

[Being unique] gives so much privilege to people who can make it, rather than having some moral and aesthetic discussions.

I am very much interested in the so-called useless object. I mean, it takes perfect craftsmanship, beautiful material carefully measured and crafted, but at the same time it’s really useless.

I think we cannot have a double standard. We cannot see our art as different from the reality. We cannot use two different sets of judgment.

In a society like this there is no negotiation, no discussion, except to tell you that power can crush you any time they want — not only you, your whole family and all people like you.

We have to give our opinion, we have to say something, or we are a part of it. As an artist I am forced to say something.

My definition of art has always been the same. It is about freedom of expression, a new way of communication. It is never about exhibiting in museums or about hanging it on the wall.
