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?

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

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

You cannot explain the whole world in one photograph. Photography pretends. You can see everything that's in front of the camera, but there's always something beside it.

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.

There have to be at least two copies of a photograph, otherwise it’s not a photograph.
