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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
