You’re originally from Bottrop?

Yes, I grew up in Bottrop, a small city in the Ruhr District. Where there used to be mines, there are now garden fences, stretch pants, and auto workshops. And the famous Quadrat, the Josef Albers Museum, the city’s cultural pride. It used to be a kind of preserve or reservation, very crucial to my early artistic education. For me, Bottrop offered the intellectual and spiritual adventure of art and perception right there, in the Stadtgarten.
