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

The people have to know what my portraits are like in order to behave in such a way that the result is one of my portraits.

I received my training at an art academy, so what I produce is art. That's what is artistic about my photographs.

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.

Normally if you add information to information, you have more information. In case of my art, I destroy information, I would say, because the image is disturbed by the writings. In a way, they become pure imagery. For me it's really fun because it's an idealistic approach to images, to just play around with information and see what's happening.

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

Press information is serious information, but press information is also manipulated by people who want you to think that this and that happened. So it's the old thing that you still cannot trust photography at all or you have to know who is distributing the photograph. In terms of cell phone photography, I think nobody cares about a photograph anymore because they're taking so many pictures just for fun.
