Excerpt from a statement by the artist written in March 2004:
I have accumulated an archive of photographs I have been taking in university class rooms and lecture halls. Photos are not only made of the
lecturer but also of the audience/listener/students during the class,

systematism, continuity and contingency. As with other works of mine, these photographs have a strong indexical quality and refer to a body
of knowledge that shows my interest in issues of cultural critiques and politics - all issues that are vibrant in understanding today’s social world...
