“There is something very personal about taking photographs at night; it relaxes me somehow. During the night, the theatrical, unreal qualities in photos are highlighted more strongly. This photo was taken at a location very near my home: Thurn/Tour & Taxis, which is currently undergoing a total metamorphosis. The site has a positive influence on the neighbourhood. It stimulates diversity, it is a quiet, green place – an oasis almost – in this parallel world with too many cars and too much pollution and testosterone. It makes the world here bigger.”
