I never thought of myself as a Photographer. I make photographs because photography is the simplest, most direct way of recording something. It´s a form of visual notation. Anyone can take pictures, but it´s difficult to organize and montage them, so that some meaning can be constructed. Photography begins with a world that is overfull and needs to be sorted out from what is meaningful. For me a work of art is interesting to look at, more than something is interesting to think about.
The place for people in my works is the viewer. Without the viewer, the work doesn’t really exist.
