Take a traffic accident, for example: You might approach it because you want to help, but also because you are fascinated. You have to look. A work of art is not an answer, it is a question. I make a sculpture because I find myself confronted by an unsolved dilemma: Being torn between my aesthetic fascination and my ethical feeling of being moved.” Quote from “A boot full of bloody brains...
