- He believes to be an artist automatically means to be socially engaged! I feel he is right. I had the pleasure to meet him in Duesseldorf, Germany in the late 90s.
Read below an excerpt from his website and click on photos lh side to listen to and watch his you tube videos taken from an interview in one of Germany's main TV stations ZDF - sorry German only.
Of course I couldn't resist to take a screenshot from one of the videos showing his gown and shoes because it truely reminds me of Magritte etc.
