ambassador and is now the face of Casio G-Shock
His main focus is free artistic work, where he creates staged
series, especially still lifes, self-portraits and staged stories in a
coherent style that could be called pop art photography. Often
these series are an attempt to make a statement about current
social issues and other problems, while at the same time they are
visually very accomplished works that appeal to audiences
across age groups. In this presentation you can see his entire
body of work chronologically. His seminal free works are then
complemented by major original projects and collaborations.
