The four photos of the portfolio "Surface&Color"
			were shot in November 2000 in Berlin/
			Germany alongside the tracks of the
			S1 between
			the stations Mexicoplatz and Schlachtensee.
			It is not
			graffiti or parts of it, but spots
			used by sprayers to clean their
			atomizer valves,
			which left the circular shapes. Graffiti in Berlin
			is
			about 5% art (a very kind guess this is) and
			for 95% of it the visual
			equivalent of dog shit,
			another Berlin specialty. In order not to
			become
			desperate about it you have to make “gold from
			shit” and that’s
			exactly what these images try
			to accomplish.
			Surface&Color 1 and 2 have been published in
			the American art magazine „Direct
			Art“, Volume
			10, Fall/Winter 2004
