Personal statement from the photographer and filmmaker
"If you travel a lot, if you love to wander and get lost, you can end up in the strangest places. [. . .] I don't know, it must be a kind of built-in radar that often leads me to places that are strangely quiet or strange in a quiet way." (Wim WENDERS)
