“Stories of political power and of day-to-day politics do not particularly interest me. There are too many imposed patterns and simplified versions of the truth in play. I find the subjective approach much more fruitful. My pictures are not simple to read. Already in their technical realization, they are too complex for easy access.Whenever I realize that a picture is becoming too harmonious and slick, I intervene and destroy what is pleasing.”
