German artist using unconventional materials and history to create monumental works exploring memory, identity, and trauma.
What interests me is the transformation, not the monument. A ruin is the moment when things can start again
History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power
I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland
I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art
There is no objective history. Each human being made its own history
Memory is not an archive. It is a terrain that must be excavated repeatedly
What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things
