‘Almost all my compositions are called ‘Composition Trouvée’. This name came about at the installation of a composition in 1983, The term ‘Composition Trouvée’ alludes to the existing ‘Objet Trouvée’- term, in the sense that each of these is a consciously compiled and recognizable composition – a previously existing, found one, ‘so to speak’. They are chunks of reality that vary from trivial consumption and interior fragments to pseudo-public manifestation décors.
The Compositions are a logical consequence of the way in which I manipulate themes and materials in my larger installations.These Compositions, however, are devoid of all situational pretentions. I myself would describe the relationship in my oeuvre between the compositions and installations as follows: If I were to interpret my larger installations as ‘large tableaux’, my compositions would relate to them as sketches or small drawings. In general, I wish to regard tem as present-day, archeological still lifes.’
