Once I learned about the Holocaust, I realized its implications, and saw the collective denial and amnesia in Austria at that time. Everything froze for me and I refused to move on from that point. Maybe due to my infantile obsession with ‘justness,’ something broke for me, and from then on I felt detached from my ancestors, their traditions and values.
I avoided all established cultural institutions like museums, and I never visited a gallery. I was a proud ‘orphaned’ street kid, glad to be ignorant. I only cared about the so-called ‘trivial arts’ like comics and rock music. I had no influences from other artists and I had no goals regarding a career. In a way, I was privileged when I began painting because I was completely free.

Sometimes I feel like I’m slowly floating away. I’m constantly looking for something to grab on to so I don’t lose myself.
