1
00:00:18,207 --> 00:00:24,895
it appeals very much to the dream world, to recollection

2
00:00:24,895 --> 00:00:28,980
and it could also somehow stimulate the imagination

3
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:31,819
in a very powerful way

4
00:00:31,819 --> 00:00:37,700
and I in reality, it is perhaps a desire to create pictures

5
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:54,620
about stillness and presence

6
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:58,780
the miniature is the refuge of the great

7
00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:02,300
the quality of miniatures or small things is in reality,

8
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:06,414
the concentration of of information the sharper

9
00:01:06,414 --> 00:01:13,054
the diamond is ground the more beautiful the gem looks

10
00:01:13,054 --> 00:01:18,814
and it is in the fact the processing of three-dimensional forms

11
00:01:18,814 --> 00:01:22,694
that increases their value

12
00:01:22,694 --> 00:01:26,054
there is a figure so small

13
00:01:26,054 --> 00:01:31,494
that he can split a dust particle with his forehead

14
00:01:31,494 --> 00:01:35,854
and step through it with his whole body

15
00:01:35,854 --> 00:01:45,054
so that's pretty small right?

16
00:01:45,054 --> 00:01:52,014
in a way the artist works with remnants, society's remnants

17
00:01:52,014 --> 00:01:55,414
this is always the area with potential

18
00:01:55,414 --> 00:02:00,814
I am a thing finder and its so extreme that every time I .. some shoes are so

19
00:02:00,814 --> 00:02:04,934
badly made that they lose their labels

20
00:02:04,934 --> 00:02:08,813
a kind of red thing under the shoe, in the sole

21
00:02:08,813 --> 00:02:14,174
I have been finding them for ten years, each time each time I pick up one like that

22
00:02:14,174 --> 00:02:16,813
because I use the as stairs

23
00:02:16,813 --> 00:02:20,094
when I have enough I use them as steps

24
00:02:20,094 --> 00:02:26,694
so suddenly the world is incredibly large with regard to materials

25
00:02:26,694 --> 00:02:29,854
it's all about ideas

26
00:02:29,854 --> 00:02:34,174
the premise right from the start has been

27
00:02:34,174 --> 00:02:40,053
to collect items from the world around that are already manufactured

28
00:02:40,053 --> 00:02:44,654
and take them and put them into my own contexts

29
00:02:44,654 --> 00:02:47,454
and use them on the miniature level

30
00:02:47,454 --> 00:02:56,373
it "mimes" something else, that you don't see at first

31
00:02:56,373 --> 00:03:01,254
but which has it's origin in a completely different function

32
00:03:01,254 --> 00:03:06,014
but this kind of disappears. it is dissolved

33
00:03:06,014 --> 00:03:11,414
and of course there are also things that already have an age

34
00:03:11,414 --> 00:03:18,364
a certain ambiance that matches this poetic universe

35
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:24,334
because I aim to generate images

36
00:03:24,334 --> 00:03:30,094
that may encourage you to linger a while in them

37
00:03:30,094 --> 00:03:40,174
and materials that have a certain age radiate a restraint

38
00:03:40,174 --> 00:03:52,729
and a value that I feel is poetic

39
00:03:52,729 --> 00:03:57,693
we are very stimulated

40
00:03:57,693 --> 00:04:05,933
I think we're living in what's called "the great social epoch"

41
00:04:05,933 --> 00:04:10,854
we exchange a lot

42
00:04:10,854 --> 00:04:13,133
the downside is perhaps that things don't have time to mature

43
00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:14,534
we are very quick to take action in all kinds of context

44
00:04:14,534 --> 00:04:16,739
but art is a space reserved for a certain spontaneity

45
00:04:16,739 --> 00:04:19,493
a place where you don't have answers and don't need to produce

46
00:04:19,493 --> 00:04:21,294
you go back to just being

47
00:04:21,294 --> 00:04:32,250
as they say, we are 'human doings' or 'human beings'

48
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:36,694
I feel attracted to the idea of just being allowed to be

49
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:41,334
I am interested in presence

50
00:04:41,334 --> 00:04:45,294
and that is perhaps found more in stillness and reflection

51
00:04:45,294 --> 00:04:47,934
one can speak of ... without sounding pathetic

52
00:04:47,934 --> 00:04:54,174
there is actually something called ' the artist's great loneliness'

53
00:04:54,174 --> 00:04:57,374
and it suits me just fine

54
00:04:57,374 --> 00:05:00,974
that this place here dilapidated and worn

55
00:05:00,974 --> 00:05:04,974
it seems so much more relaxed to me this is definitely my oasis
