Today, when working in my studio or doing site-specific installations in museums, it feels like being on top of that mountain, surrounded by nature, even though I’m mostly in the middle of a city.
This state is hard to describe, kind of atmospheric noise.
I feel the need to re-create this noise time after time as a point of origin for everything else.
It´s like trying to reproduce the same one image again and again, an image I already know very well.
