When museums are left with so little money that their future is in the hands of private donors, then they are unable to develop their own signatures by collecting themselves. On the other hand, though, I think we should also celebrate the fact that there is a lot of art that lives outside of, or on the outskirts of, the art market - and it is doing quite well.

Artists are valuable to public discussion: They show the correlation between doing and thinking.

I believe that access to electricity and light can radically improve people‚ lives.

In the past Berlin was much more radical and extreme and now it's becoming much more of a conventional European city.

I see the artist as a participant, a co-producer of reality.

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.

Light has an evident, functional and aesthetic impact on our lives.
