0:00:18.207,0:00:24.895
it appeals very much to the dream world, to recollection

0:00:24.895,0:00:28.980
and it could also somehow stimulate the imagination

0:00:28.980,0:00:31.819
in a very powerful way

0:00:31.819,0:00:37.700
and I in reality, it is perhaps a desire to create pictures

0:00:37.700,0:00:54.620
about stillness and presence

0:00:54.620,0:00:58.780
the miniature is the refuge of the great

0:00:58.780,0:01:02.300
the quality of miniatures or small things is in reality,

0:01:02.300,0:01:06.414
the concentration of of information the sharper

0:01:06.414,0:01:13.054
the diamond is ground the more beautiful the gem looks

0:01:13.054,0:01:18.814
and it is in the fact the processing of three-dimensional forms

0:01:18.814,0:01:22.694
that increases their value

0:01:22.694,0:01:26.054
there is a figure so small

0:01:26.054,0:01:31.494
that he can split a dust particle with his forehead

0:01:31.494,0:01:35.854
and step through it with his whole body

0:01:35.854,0:01:45.054
so that's pretty small right?

0:01:45.054,0:01:52.014
in a way the artist works with remnants, society's remnants

0:01:52.014,0:01:55.414
this is always the area with potential

0:01:55.414,0:02:00.814
I am a thing finder and its so extreme that every time I .. some shoes are so

0:02:00.814,0:02:04.934
badly made that they lose their labels

0:02:04.934,0:02:08.813
a kind of red thing under the shoe, in the sole

0:02:08.813,0:02:14.174
I have been finding them for ten years, each time each time I pick up one like that

0:02:14.174,0:02:16.813
because I use the as stairs

0:02:16.813,0:02:20.094
when I have enough I use them as steps

0:02:20.094,0:02:26.694
so suddenly the world is incredibly large with regard to materials

0:02:26.694,0:02:29.854
it's all about ideas

0:02:29.854,0:02:34.174
the premise right from the start has been

0:02:34.174,0:02:40.053
to collect items from the world around that are already manufactured

0:02:40.053,0:02:44.654
and take them and put them into my own contexts

0:02:44.654,0:02:47.454
and use them on the miniature level

0:02:47.454,0:02:56.373
it "mimes" something else, that you don't see at first

0:02:56.373,0:03:01.254
but which has it's origin in a completely different function

0:03:01.254,0:03:06.014
but this kind of disappears. it is dissolved

0:03:06.014,0:03:11.414
and of course there are also things that already have an age

0:03:11.414,0:03:18.364
a certain ambiance that matches this poetic universe

0:03:18.364,0:03:24.334
because I aim to generate images

0:03:24.334,0:03:30.094
that may encourage you to linger a while in them

0:03:30.094,0:03:40.174
and materials that have a certain age radiate a restraint

0:03:40.174,0:03:52.729
and a value that I feel is poetic

0:03:52.729,0:03:57.693
we are very stimulated

0:03:57.693,0:04:05.933
I think we're living in what's called "the great social epoch"

0:04:05.933,0:04:10.854
we exchange a lot

0:04:10.854,0:04:13.133
the downside is perhaps that things don't have time to mature

0:04:13.133,0:04:14.534
we are very quick to take action in all kinds of context

0:04:14.534,0:04:16.739
but art is a space reserved for a certain spontaneity

0:04:16.739,0:04:19.493
a place where you don't have answers and don't need to produce

0:04:19.493,0:04:21.294
you go back to just being

0:04:21.294,0:04:32.250
as they say, we are 'human doings' or 'human beings'

0:04:32.250,0:04:36.694
I feel attracted to the idea of just being allowed to be

0:04:36.694,0:04:41.334
I am interested in presence

0:04:41.334,0:04:45.294
and that is perhaps found more in stillness and reflection

0:04:45.294,0:04:47.934
one can speak of ... without sounding pathetic

0:04:47.934,0:04:54.174
there is actually something called ' the artist's great loneliness'

0:04:54.174,0:04:57.374
and it suits me just fine

0:04:57.374,0:05:00.974
that this place here dilapidated and worn

0:05:00.974,0:05:04.974
it seems so much more relaxed to me this is definitely my oasis
