What are you currently working on—and what do you find particularly stimulating or challenging about it?
I’m working on Gerd Rohling’s installation ›Ercolano Underground‹ for Passage at U-Bahnhof Hermannstraße, finishing two apartments with Tadan, and we’re preparing an exhibition titled ›Tadan TV‹ at Galerie Noah Klink this November.
Do you have a daily ritual that gives you structure or inspiration?
I read after waking up and before getting out of bed. It took years of practice to make this a habit.
What kind of music do you listen to when you want to focus or reconnect with your creative process?
BBC Radio 3.
Has there been a book that fundamentally changed your perspective—and why would you recommend it?
›How to Talk About Books You Haven’t Read‹ by Pierre Bayard.
Is there a work of art you would love to have in your home?
Robert Mapplethorpe’s ›Kevin Farley, N.Y.‹ from 1976, framed and matted by the artist.
Which exhibition venue in Berlin inspires you?
Scherben at Leipziger Straße 61.
Is there an object that accompanies you and reflects a part of your identity?
I have this key chain in the shape and colour of a very happy Marge Simpson, a gift from my then-teenage brother. It represents our internal sense of humour.
What keeps you going, even in moments of doubt?
Expectations.
Which personality would you like to have a conversation with—and what would you talk about?
It’s a conversation with Pierce Brosnan about Lyonel Feininger. He’s a fan.
What do you look forward to when your working day comes to an end?
The next one.
