During the days of good light of the late summer in 1978 up to spring 1979, my brother Carl (Some of the pictures go on his account) and I visited the building site of the New clinic to Seffent near Aachen. We knew the hidden entrances, by-passed the guards and spent many hours first on its roof, and then in the inner maze of the colossus.

A friend and study companion (Gernot Schäfer) had lend us his miniature camera and two changeable lenses, so we began to expose several slides and B/W-films. We discovered what should later become our the professional routine: the conversion of surfaces (environment) in appearances, of appearances into pictures, of pictures into media.

Only a single picture of the collection, a medium long shot in black-and-white, was published in 1981 in a special edition of the STADTBAUWELT (Deserts (Wüsten), ed. Ulrich Conrad). The other photographs have found some private lovers. The colour collection, consisting of 30 motives, is autographed as a file, hand-made and available in the format 24x30 cm. Registration necessary. Price on inquiry.
