I am planning to write about the triple catastrophe of tsunami/earthquake/meltdown and its (social as well as ideological) meaning both for Japan as for Europe.
I believe that artistic adaptations of this catastrophe will be primal adaptations of "a world-catastrophe" and are therefore of utmost importance. Only travelling to Japan enables me as an artist and a German to fully capture the whole meaning of what has happened and to turn it into a vital, living thing inside of me.
Thus I seek to fuse the two worlds within my artistic work  and to depict the outcome accordingly.
Only this dual perception enables me to experience and write of this first real global calamity, as an event in which the countries and continents of this earth are understood to be concerted observers and contemplators, not opponents.
