"I didn’t have a studio for a period of time and when a friend of mine went to Portugal for a few months, he lent me his at Rosenthaler Street 71 in Berlin. I wanted to spend as much time there as possible doing something. That is how I started collecting old albums from markets and antique stores and combining the found images into collages."
