Artistic statement
Simo Brotherus

I am an optimist. That is an on-going, active choice.

And today I read the three first artist presentations in the catalogue of the exhibition ‘Apocalypse’ (Royal Academy of Arts, London, 2000):

“I’m interested in the fiction becoming true. It wouldn’t surprise me if the day came when the earth really did stand still.” Richard Prince

“Corpses always lie in the cellar. Perhaps I am the one who can’t get away.” Gregor Schneider

“Nostalgia is horrific.” Luc Tuymans
