Wenn ich mich selbst reproduziere, dann auch als Versuch einer Erweiterung: visuelle Formulierungen von Möglichem, Ausgedachtem. Ich packe mich am eigenen Schopf und ziehe, ich springe ohne Boden, mime Erfundenes, zeichne Vorgestelltes, lüge und lüge, bis es wahr werden könnte. Ich reproduziere nicht 1:1, sondern werde es durch das Reproduzieren. …

When I reproduce myself, this also takes the form of an attempt at expansion: visual formulations of things that are possible, things that I have come up with. I pull myself up by the scruff of my own neck, I jump up without anything underneath me, I simulate things that I have invented, I draw the things I have imagined, I lie and lie until it might become true. I don’t reproduce things exactly, instead, I get there through the act of reproduction…
