über
Ich komme aus der Dunkelkammer. Als Teenager durfte ich mir eine auf der winzigen Gästetoilette unserer Wohnung einrichten. So bin ich mit der analogen Fotografie groß geworden – und mit dem Lesen und Schreiben von Gedichten. Lange Zeit hatte ich das Gefühl, mich für das eine oder andre entscheiden zu müssen.
Heute macht es für mich kaum einen Unterschied, ein Gedicht zu schreiben oder ein Foto zu entwickeln. Die Werkzeuge sind verschieden, aber die kreativen Prozesse sind sich sehr ähnlich und decken sich sogar oft.
Letztlich geht es mir darum, etwas inhaltlich und formal so weit zu erarbeiten, dass es seine Aussage auf den Punkt bringt, stimmig wird und am Ende für sich selbst stehen und wirken kann. Das gelingt nicht immer. Jedes neue Bild und jedes neue Gedicht ist ein neuer Anlauf mit offenem Ausgang.
„alles liegt am licht“ beschreibt eine Grunderfahrung, die sich im Laufe vieler Jahre kreativen Suchens und Arbeitens herauskristallisierte. Dieser Satz ist mein ständiger Begleiter und Wegweiser. Er bringt mich dazu, immer wieder neu zu sehen und hat für mich eine Bedeutung, die weit über die Sphäre der Kunst hinausgeht.
