Fluchtgedanken

1972 – 1979

Each of these photos is an inner image based in reality that already hazily existed in my imagination. They are photos of a search, of unexpected sights and sudden recognitions, of holding on to, but also of not understanding. In particular, in their sequence, they convey the feeling to me of being on the trail of something in me, of approaching it and then losing it again.
