„Andy (Warhol) invited me to the factory in New York 1983 and after he
told me how he loved my work, he asked me to follow him into an empty
room where we sat down opposite to each other and he just froze and he
didn’t say anything and he didn’t move. We sat there in silence for some
time and I didn’t know what to do – at first it was strange and it felt
kind of awkward, but then slowly everything started to transcend and
the tension dissipated and nothing seemed important anymore. Andy looked
like a wax-dummy in the posture of a pharaoh that had been dead since
thousands of years – the room around us became darker and darker and the
white of Andy’s face and hair got a glow so intense that it started to
burn my eyes. I realized that we were floating now somewhere in outer
space and nothing mattered anymore and I raised my Nikon and shot“
