When did you start considering yourself an artist? What pushed you in this direction?

There was basically never a moment or something that drove me in this direction, to me it was always clear.

From mannequins to sex dolls, why this interest in the fake and standardised representation of the human body?

For me, the mannequins in my work are placeholders for the human being or for interpersonal relationships. Since my works develop out of fundamental and general questions about how people relate and behave to each other, which are not linked to a particular person but affect everyone in some way, placeholders make sense to me. In many works, the mannequins stand for avatars, so it was important to me to find a representation that is clearly related to human beings, but also has an enormously artificial appearance. With the representatives, the plan was to build an artificial self-portrait, as many people do on the Internet every day. I wanted to bring this kind of behaviour, this way of dealing with yourself, back into the real space. This form of self-representation should be a complete self portrait of my inside and my appearance, through an AI based chatbot
