I always try to make work that activates the viewer to be a co-producer of our shared reality.

Every city is always changing, on its own trajectory.

I can use the camera to make a place or landscape; the camera to a greater extent projects rather than takes in or reproduces. The camera, or, rather, the eye, produces the impression of the place: I as a photographer am not passively taking in; I am active as a subject generating the object.

I myself have already spent a third of my life in Germany, first in Cologne and then, since 1994, in Berlin.

It would be wrong to say that the city of Berlin is not regulated. What I think is more interesting is to what extent a city creates a sort of safe haven for its users, so that people feel confident that the city works on their behalf.

I think an artist has the potential to investigate both form and content within one activity, to show that there can be coherence between form and values in our society, as in thinking about a city and building one.

The viewer brings something individual to the experience of any artwork.
