/>Who (or what) do you love?:
my girlfriend bex and
tom kha gai, that is this gorgeous thai coconut-chicken-soup. it really feels
like an orgasm in your tommy. taking a passionfruit , biting a little hole into
it and sucking it out (try that one, it will blow your mind, heheh!!!). bagels
with creamcheese and salmon, best on bricklane in east london while putting up
some posters (already thought about wearing a suit when putting up posters, love
the contrast…)
Who and/or what are some of your
influences?
hm. at the moment its london itself. and all
the great people from around the world I am meeting every day

/>Why brief cases?
i started this project for the MA
i am currently doing, well, i just got 38% (38! heheh) for this project, i
suppose
it wasnt academic enough. it is about fears, fear of the unknown,
stuff that might wait for you around the corner (thats why i put up warning-
signs as well). this is a dangerously current problem in our society, the
suitcase is just one of a couple of images, which seems to work best. a
forgotten suitcase on the street or even in the tube or so is going to scare the
shit out of you.
What other artists do you most
admire?
tibor kalman, mahony, and my friend tweak, he
really helped me a lot with this project
How would you
describe your art to someone who could not see it?
would
show him some pictures,

What other talent would most like to
have?
to be able to write really great essays and
concepts, so i dont fail my next project (but i am working on that,
heheh)
What do you fear the most?
/>pain, failure, suitcases, diseases, being pushed onto the tracks of
the tube, being stuck in one of those tiny london tubes, torture, loosing
freedom, hard drugs, lonelyness, computercrashes, loosing all my files due to
death of my harddisk, breaking my willy during sex, being superlate for an
interview, to fuck up another project for my MA, man, there are so many….
What is your greatest ambition?
/>
hmm. to find a solution to help all those homeless on our
streets to do something with their lives. they should really help us putting up
more streetart for example.
