Max-o-matic
Velazquez in the mall, 04.

What's the story behind this piece?
I made this paper collage in late 2017/early 2018 and exhibited it in The Age of Collage show (curated by the one and only Dennis Busch) in Hamburg, along with 3 other pieces from this series. One (or two, not sure) had been sold and the remaining ones got lost when they were shipped back to me. So these are ghost artworks inhabiting a liminal space between our world and other worlds. I always wonder if anybody has found them. And if someone did, what they must have thought. Were these collages worth keeping or did they just throw them in the recycling bin?

What do you especially like about this piece?
I like the fact that it exists and doesn't at the same time. Can I relate this to the Schrödinger's cat thing? Until I know (which will most probably be never), this exists and doesn't exist. It's a quantum collage.
