Archive

The archive shows my life as a total work of art. I number my work since December 1993. It resulted in this archive which contains sketches, paintings, monochromes, diary fragments, polaroids, etc. Each piece is related to each other. The archive is often part of the installation in exhibitions. It is an autobiography and has different periods in long-term series. I reached number 100.000 in September 2023.
