i think that, generally, there is no such thing as a self-contained isolated entity called | existence, only transitional forms bound to time. this is a fundamental consideration which calls linguistic and social constructions into question. in this context, natural science and medicine offer interesting fields of exploration because they are based on facts and seek to break away from phenomena related to time. in my oeuvre, individual works are systematically modified as they are contextualized by new, subsequent works. similar to technical tools and experiments, they are at the tip of decision-making pyramids in a state of continuous development.

If you take eternal life as an absolute concept, it is in fact a tautology, cancelling itself out. If eternal life is supposed to work, it can no longer be life the way we know it; we would have to find a different word for it. Eternal life is a sterile state excluding precisely what constitues life. It is a precondition of life that we live it at death’s door. (...). If we are in an absolute state of eternal life, everything is suspended: on no level will life correspond to what being human is about. You could only compare it to a pseudo-machinelike state, to a perpetuum mobile, perhaps.
