I'm a visual thief, artistic criminal. I steal images. I break copyright laws. I plagiarize and appropriate. I "copy" and "paste". I "save". I deconstruct, reconstruct, recontextualize, juxtapose the pilfered material. I mix and remix, morph and reproduce. I displace meaning. I reuse and recycle. I confuse, obfuscate, stretch the truth and invent lies. I'm a parasite that feeds on a corps of (post)modern culture. I scavenge a vast contemporary cultural landscape looking for visual stimulation. I consume images from porn magazines. I devour art reproductions. Sometimes I feast on an authentic work. I sample bits and pieces. I'm doing this because I have nothing original to say. I feed on stories of others. I have no theory to serve. I'm an ideological nomad. To accommodate different opinions I developed a multiple personalities and I cultivate my schizophrenia.
