During my childhood some dreams revealed the first signs of my strong longing for freedom. Therein, I perceived the phenomena of nature, with its thermal conditions, the lunar cycle, the tides, the growth of plants… and I felt the universal protection on my side.

Fair at night on the banks of the Rhine in Cologne-Deutz.
From a distance I was fascinated by a modern 60 meter high fairground carousel. I spontaneously followed my thirst for adventure and sat down in a gondola. I had underetimated the altitude and I died a thousand deaths. Only concentrating on the display of my video camera kept my panic to a minimum.
