"The idea was to take fine art and put it into the location of the movie scripts. The script itself is collage - some of the lines come from actual movies and I've written others to make the text work with the found image. In this way, the details of old dead guys' paintings (from the collection of the StÃ¤del Museum in Frankfurt, where this work will be exhibited in relation to the historical paintings) become illustrations of the movie scripts. I found this mÃ©lange of high art and Hollywood amusing."

“Avoid openly trying to reform people. Every man knows he is imperfect, but he doesn't want someone else trying to correct his faults.
