Wandering between Germany and Italy, Berlin and Milan, Lombardy and Tuscany and the North of Germany, looking out for a place to build up my life, my love, my art. Neither fatherland nor mother country, no hometown any longer yet I dont feel homeless at all. My Heimat: a provisional abode. Real, virtual, global - spaces where my nomadic soul and body will create that clever coincidence called romantic Lebenskunst, the pinnacle of all arts.
Due to dreams and desire, migration is my state of mind, my way of being, the only chance for aesthetic creation, to realise a sacred void that is always borderline, between & beyond trash and pornography, anorexia and bulimia.
