Having an experience is taking part in the world. Taking part in the world is really about sharing responsibility.

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

Photographs have a relevance for things that cannot be said.

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.

If I have the choice of traveling to Russia, India or New Zealand alone for a week for preliminary discussions or to spend that week with my family, I routinely choose my family.
