“The image is connective tissue. No need to interpret, only to unfold, to increase the surface area of experience. By staying close to the surface of an event, I hope to trace a connection between the event’s material history, the event itself, me, and you.” (Touch. Sensuous Theory and Multisensory Media, Laura U. Marks, 2002)

Mein Lieblingsfrühstück setzt sich aus folgenden Bestandteilen zusammen: eine Kanne Kaffee, ein Glas frisch gepresster Orangensaft, ein Glas Sprudel, eine Scheibe Weißbrot (Baguette, Toast oder Brot), gesalzene Butter, eine geachtelte Zitrone, eine halbe Avocado, zwei Salatblättern und ein in Zitrone eingelegtes Sardinenfilet. Ab und zu, jeweils in dünne Scheiben geschnitten, Radieschen oder Rote Beete. Ich habe fertig gegessen. Zünde mir eine Zigarette an und denke, während ich so vor mich hin-rauche: »Ich kenne das Kino nicht gut genug, um irgendetwas fest zu behaupten«. (JLG)
