I do not want to display a catalogue of possible options. I do not even want to give the impression that I constantly have something new to express. I would rather reveal the development that takes place in the course of time, "my time". A transformation of events that hide under the remains of repetition. The choice of notations is due to the fact that I am fascinated by symbolism. I invent the notations by interpretating the given symbols in my own way, not a single movement can be expressed elsewise und can work, look and sound in the same way as this movement.
I was interested in expressing one and the same process into several views and the observation of the evolvement from one to the other. Soon I gave up the idea of illustrating a continuous transformation as a process. I had to realise that I could not remember ever experiencing a transformation in the here and now. I only then experienced a transformation when it was complete, and process was always staged, depending on the nature of my observation. Just as I wake up in the morning and notice that I am old. Then I realise that an "offence" took place, but only as an experience. The transformation has taken place, without me noticing. Therefore I see in my doings no factor more important than the "remembering".
