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

00:00:24.895 --> 00:00:28.980
and it could also somehow stimulate the imagination

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:31.819
in a very powerful way

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

00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:54.620
about stillness and presence

00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:58.780
the miniature is the refuge of the great

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

00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:06.414
the concentration of of information the sharper

00:01:06.414 --> 00:01:13.054
the diamond is ground the more beautiful the gem looks

00:01:13.054 --> 00:01:18.814
and it is in the fact the processing of three-dimensional forms

00:01:18.814 --> 00:01:22.694
that increases their value

00:01:22.694 --> 00:01:26.054
there is a figure so small

00:01:26.054 --> 00:01:31.494
that he can split a dust particle with his forehead

00:01:31.494 --> 00:01:35.854
and step through it with his whole body

00:01:35.854 --> 00:01:45.054
so that's pretty small right?

00:01:45.054 --> 00:01:52.014
in a way the artist works with remnants, society's remnants

00:01:52.014 --> 00:01:55.414
this is always the area with potential

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

00:02:00.814 --> 00:02:04.934
badly made that they lose their labels

00:02:04.934 --> 00:02:08.813
a kind of red thing under the shoe, in the sole

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

00:02:14.174 --> 00:02:16.813
because I use the as stairs

00:02:16.813 --> 00:02:20.094
when I have enough I use them as steps

00:02:20.094 --> 00:02:26.694
so suddenly the world is incredibly large with regard to materials

00:02:26.694 --> 00:02:29.854
it's all about ideas

00:02:29.854 --> 00:02:34.174
the premise right from the start has been

00:02:34.174 --> 00:02:40.053
to collect items from the world around that are already manufactured

00:02:40.053 --> 00:02:44.654
and take them and put them into my own contexts

00:02:44.654 --> 00:02:47.454
and use them on the miniature level

00:02:47.454 --> 00:02:56.373
it "mimes" something else, that you don't see at first

00:02:56.373 --> 00:03:01.254
but which has it's origin in a completely different function

00:03:01.254 --> 00:03:06.014
but this kind of disappears. it is dissolved

00:03:06.014 --> 00:03:11.414
and of course there are also things that already have an age

00:03:11.414 --> 00:03:18.364
a certain ambiance that matches this poetic universe

00:03:18.364 --> 00:03:24.334
because I aim to generate images

00:03:24.334 --> 00:03:30.094
that may encourage you to linger a while in them

00:03:30.094 --> 00:03:40.174
and materials that have a certain age radiate a restraint

00:03:40.174 --> 00:03:52.729
and a value that I feel is poetic

00:03:52.729 --> 00:03:57.693
we are very stimulated

00:03:57.693 --> 00:04:05.933
I think we're living in what's called "the great social epoch"

00:04:05.933 --> 00:04:10.854
we exchange a lot

00:04:10.854 --> 00:04:13.133
the downside is perhaps that things don't have time to mature

00:04:13.133 --> 00:04:14.534
we are very quick to take action in all kinds of context

00:04:14.534 --> 00:04:16.739
but art is a space reserved for a certain spontaneity

00:04:16.739 --> 00:04:19.493
a place where you don't have answers and don't need to produce

00:04:19.493 --> 00:04:21.294
you go back to just being

00:04:21.294 --> 00:04:32.250
as they say, we are 'human doings' or 'human beings'

00:04:32.250 --> 00:04:36.694
I feel attracted to the idea of just being allowed to be

00:04:36.694 --> 00:04:41.334
I am interested in presence

00:04:41.334 --> 00:04:45.294
and that is perhaps found more in stillness and reflection

00:04:45.294 --> 00:04:47.934
one can speak of ... without sounding pathetic

00:04:47.934 --> 00:04:54.174
there is actually something called ' the artist's great loneliness'

00:04:54.174 --> 00:04:57.374
and it suits me just fine

00:04:57.374 --> 00:05:00.974
that this place here dilapidated and worn

00:05:00.974 --> 00:05:04.974
it seems so much more relaxed to me this is definitely my oasis
