我当时的偶像是极简主义和概念艺术家。我也想成为极简主义和概念艺术家，所以我尝试製作一些简单的肖像。我当时真的很想解构肖像的概念，把它带回原点。我想自此以后，人们将会对肖像塑造或是任何图像的拍摄产生新的认识，我们要做的只是突显图像类型的本质，并努力让观者也感受到这一点。
所有不同的系列或主题都来自我的日常生活。我是一个普通人。我读报章和杂志，关注时事并观察周遭的环境。我看不同事物，它们或让我愁，或让我喜，或让我满不在乎。但有些图像会存留在我脑海中好几天，甚至好几个月，如果我发现自己对某些东西念念不忘，我就会开始研究它们以及这个大主题，试图搞清楚到底是什么让我着迷。上世纪八九十年代时只有报纸、杂志和图书馆里的书籍可以供我做研究，但现在有了互联网——那儿什么都有，几乎什么都有，所以我现在几乎都在网上查资料。在这个过程中，我脑海里会浮现出想要创造的图像，尽管它很依稀。之后我会分析这个图像，探究它的本质，直到它变得清晰并成为一个初步的模型。在此基础上，我把最终的图像作品完成，再以系列的形式呈现给大家。

我没有自由意志；我不自由。我是异化的生成线上的公务员；我是一种器具。因没有自由，我不会惊讶。我可预测。历史被战胜了。我身处天堂。预先设计好的，个体化的，语言化的，被玩弄的，被观赏的，被安放的。天堂是无法承受的。

Best.Nr.: 68011, Best.Nr.: 28856, Best.Nr.: 28856Devoid of any creative airs and graces, well-proportioned and of recogni-sable quality. The basic material – cold forged aluminum with high materialthickness – is not only one of the best heat conductors, but also extremelylight and therefore easy to handle. With a constant thickness, the pots’bases ensure even heat distribution and perfect thermal absorption. Rea-ching cooking temperature the pan fully stabilizes and adjusts itself perfect-ly to the stove. The resilient stainless-steel tube-shaped handles reduceheat transmission. Low maintenance and ruggedness are increased by theceramic-enhanced non-stick coating of the internal surfaces. Still, we re-commend considerate handling by using proper tools. Not suitable for in-duction hobs.
