I Never See A Forest

When, At The End Of The 1960s, I Became Interested In The Nazi Era, It Was A Taboo Subject In Germany. No One Spoke About It Anymore, No More In My House Than Anywhere Else.

Life Is An Illusion. I Am Held Together In The Nothingness By Art.

I Was Interested In Transcendence From A Very Early Age. I Was Interested In What Was Over There, What Was Behind Life. So When I Had My First Communion I Was Very Disappointed. I Had Expected Something Amazing And Surprising And Spiritual. Instead All I Got Was A Bicycle. That Wasn't What I Was After At All.

Art Is Difficult. It's Not Entertainment. There Are Only A Few People Who Can Say Something About Art - It's Very Restricted. When I See A New Artist I Give Myself A Lot Of Time To Reflect And Decide Whether It's Art Or Not. Buying Art Is Not Understanding Art.

Ruins, For Me, Are The Beginning. With The Debris, You Can Construct New Ideas. They Are Symbols Of A Beginning.
