I love the formal aspects of Federico’s work and how he deals with questions of media, how he takes media products (such as Newspaper or photographic images) and transfers or adopts them for his own work. I thought, the calmness and meditation, the analytic approach Federico uses in his production is interesting in combination with my somewhat faster, instinctive way of working.
During the last ten years we had a massive change in communication and how we transfer knowlege. After that change of communication, it is important for me to work with artist on these questions. Today we have to learn to be humans and not to behave like machines.

I like the idea of interacting with photography, which I have never done in my research before. Often I use photographs as points of departure for my installative works.
I met Edgar in New York during the ISCP residency, our works are different in formal terms, but they originate in the same kind of curiosity and interest. I am fascinated in Edgar’s works by his sensibility in catching small details around us and his observations of the artist’s studio.
