- Now I want to work with monuments! Monuments that are falling, sinking, dangeling, jumping, crying, begging. Monuments of what gets lost, monuments of the underdogs, the anonymous, the hopeless, the helpless, the voiceless, the priceless. Monuments over knowledge that cannot be put in words. Monuments over silence or silent monuments. Monuments that are grossly overdimentioned or too small to be seen. (2009)
