(...) In the artworld it has become cliché to claim that one should not be interested in the general public and that one shouldn't produce too much work. (...)

Münster, June 2007

Sometimes, it can be joyful to make a really silly artwork. A work that makes no sense... so that, after seeing the work, the audience will start to think that everything else in their lives is more reasonable, more sensible. Just to have the awareness that there is something out there even more meaningless than their own lives might cheer them up a bit. Every village needs its fool. And every individual should dare to play that role every now and then.
