I have been taking pictures since 1995 with rather intense devotion, since the very day my dad allowed me to play with my camera :-) A most wonderful thing about Liechtenstein is the support any artist gets, both in terms of openness and finance. I owe a great many thanks to many people, but most prominently Eddy and Brigitt Risch and Dr. Friedemann Malsch (at the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein who have supported me right from the very early beginnings.

Photography as a means to point out problematics has a big problem: it basically agrees with the problem. A photographer is passive, looks upon life without interfering, without getting involved. But then, powerful pictures can generate responses far outlasting the effect of any immediate involvement. Power in photography I think comes to a great extent from its relationship to time, its capacity to slice time, reshuffle it and question the causal links we build our understanding of the world on.

Since moving to London I have had the pleasure to live with a set of great musicians, and as a result of this I have been involved in some projects that try to build a bridge between the ear and the eye: sounds underground, the kreisler ensemble and Sara Mitra. More recently, I have started collaborating with Cheryl Frances-Hoad, a most wonderful composer.
