Photographs have a relevance for things that cannot be said.

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

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

I see the artist as a participant, a co-producer of reality. I do not see the artist as a person who sits at a distance and evaluates.

There are 1.3 billion people today who have no access to electricity. Many of them rely on kerosene lanterns for light, but kerosene is both expensive and hazardous to the health.

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

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.
