Q: Why was your husband not interested in such photos?

A: He rejected them because he was not interested in taking them. Actually, he was never interested in photography.

Q: That is an unusual statement about a man who spent his whole life on it.

A: Originally, Bernd did sketches. In the beginning, he sketched industrial landscapes. But he never managed to finish his work, because he was so precise. Often the object was demolished right in front of his eyes [...] The demolishing, the decay happened faster than he could sketch it.

Q: So then he took photos?

A: Right. He borrowed a 35mm camera and took photos, to use them for his sketches. That's how it started, photography as the means to an end.
