Minotaur

The connection between scrap metal
and the bones of a living beeing is
fascinating for me. The border
between life and death, between
symol and reality ist getting weaker.
The sculpture is made of scrap metal
and elements of life that´s alredy
finished. The new beeing transformes
this information into a new existenz.

One archetypic symbol that is very important for me
is the minotaur. I admire his strenght and power. He is both
an animal and a human being. We aren´t used to realize
that we are also animals. We try hard to ignore, that
we are not important on this world. The technical
world is a great prison. We can´t see the real world
outside. We are just like a minotaur in a great labyrinth.
We are prisoners of our own world and ideas.
Only a few of us have the strenght to
see the reality and to live.
