    "I'm not a photographer taking pictures with expression – in an expressionistic sense. On the one hand it was about the structures that I saw and that I then drew or composed. These structures I wanted to show through photography or to check them out against reality through photography. I used the camera rather as a kind of laboratory.

    On the other hand, [it was] about creating signs, and to check out those signs against reality through photography. Showing (a picture of) those signs. To record that, you take a photograph of that thing."
