Where does your desire to express yourself through art come from?

All of my life I was wondering about what is going on in this world. How can people be interested in things that are so obviously superficial? For example, why do people watch television every evening? Or why do they believe in figures who have nothing to say, if you really listen to them?
Of course it’s of no use to fall into desperation. So I had to find my way through. That’s why I made a decision for art. Maybe I would get in touch with people who have similar ideas… And I am glad to say that it led me to the discovery that the world isn’t so bad – and that people are much more likable than I’d thought before.

What are your goals as an artist?

My one goal is to achieve a better life – or to say it correctly a life worth living. And I guess that actually is a quite demanding task. Because we are so used to know everything. We assume to know the purpose of life and how to achieve happiness and such things… But that isn’t correct if you really think about it.

What is your opinion on the cultural industry?

I would say that time is running faster than ever. The contents change before you can get a clear thought on them. Maybe like in the mind of a person who can’t focus on one thing. Or you may compare it to a newsfeed. I think that is a most difficult position for us today.

Do you think independent artists today have enough opportunities to share their creativity?

It’s never easy for an artist to get recognition. But artistic ideas have a chance if the artist truly believe in them. It is an advantage of our time that i.e. the means to make a film are available for more persons than in former times.

What new project are you currently working on?

Since I started making short films I did all parts by myself. For example, if I wanted to use some guitar sounds, I played the guitar myself even though I didn’t know the notes… That’s why I want to change one or two things in my next projects, including working with other professionals.
