“For several years my research has been concentrated on the value of copy and original, using elements which are part of the same language of photocopies and copy paper. I always think of photocopies as metaphors of the disposable culture of our times, being quick to make and cheap. Documents, images, notes, sketches and drawings form, if abandoned or thrown, a layering of events, intentions, wishes and thoughts, but they still have a story to tell, a historical record of the specific event which can not be other than unique.”
