I was interested in how we engage the world. How do we use our skin as our eyes? If you read a cityscape or a landscape with just your mind, and not your body, it becomes like a picture or representation, not something you really engage with.

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

In many rural areas of the world, local communities use kerosene for indoor lighting, which leads to asthma, poor quality of light, and the desperate cycle of oil-based products that continually degrade the environment.

I do not think making art alone makes it any better than making it with a team of people.

By bringing Little Sun to Tate Modern and the London Olympics, I hope to realise an art project for those who typically have no access to global events of this scale.

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

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