Catalogue Note
"The fascination of this technology for me is that it seems that it alone permits me to make pictures in the traditional way. Because that's basically what I do, although I hope it is done with an effect opposite to that of technically traditional pictures. The opportunity is both to recuperate the past - the great art of the museums - and at the same time to participate with a critical effect in the most up-to-date spectacularity. This gives my work its particular relation to painting. I like to think that my pictures are a specific opposite to painting."
