Behind the doors you´ll find more rooms with more doors, and behind those doors more rooms with more doors.
FYD: Can you take us through your process; how do you create and emboss your works?
SS: The exact process is some kind of a secret. I make sketches and drawings and construct the images. After that I fold the paper with special tools till I think the picture is finished. The works are done only by folding the paper and not by embossing. I don´t use any colour or pencil for the shades.
FYD: How long does it take to produce each paper piece?
SS: Most pictures take about three or four days or sometimes it takes a week.
FYD: What is behind those doors?
SS: Behind the doors you´ll find more rooms with more doors, and behind those doors more rooms with more doors.
FYD: Do any films or earlier works inspire your work, do you like the world of stark white? I know you visit the darker world too.
SS: Films are very important. Lynch, Kubrick, Beckett (videos,film and literature), Hitchcock, Orson Wells. Stark white doesn’t play a role.
FYD: Do you employ a certain philosophy?
SS: Philosophy by Deleuze, Nietzsche, Bergson are very important for me and literature by Beckett, Kafka, Hofstadter, and many more are most important to me.
The exact process is some kind of a secret.
this is exactly what I was looking for!
