I think it is an anarchistic idea to have information on the front and the back. Normally if you add information to information, you have more information.

Photographs are still always depictions, it's just that for my generation the model for the photograph is probably not reality any more, but images we have of that reality.

If things are the way they are, why should I try to make them look different?

I'm very old fashioned. I still believe in the image and the pictorial quality of the image. It seems that I'm still busy with a truth in photography.

I've been collecting photographs since I don't know when, for a long time, for different reasons. You can find them on eBay and when we were browsing through the shops there were images that attracted me. These are all historical images because these days they're all digital. They don't exist anymore.

My images are not images of reality, but show a kind of second reality, the image of the image.

In photography, you always have both the medium and the depicted subject at the same time.
