When I was asked during my work on the “Going Digital” project to select a “typical” image representing my work I chose (it’s well known that impossible stuff has to be handled at once) this one. Having seen this exhibition or having read this catalog it is not very hard to see why. Reasons for this selection can only be of a technical nature. But in his production process this image combines all kinds of visual resources and techniques I use, starting with a spontaneous and quick contour drawing, while I was listening to a speech. Then two months of work at my computer, classical drawing mixed with specifically digital tools. Splinters of medical photos, anatomical details etc. were interwoven with other structures. Then manipulation of a landscape photo I took myself using digital filters and its further treatment by detailed hand work on the computer. This photo is now way more than a “background”, it’s the stage for “Der Besucher” (The Visitor) and the image got its name in this context. “Honorable Mention” at the Donnie-Award 2005 of the MOCA/New York
