LOST QUOTES

Songs inspire, influence and remind us of experiences and people. „lost quotes“ is an ongoing project about my favorite tunes interpreted and extended with my own photography. It’s a tribute to all the songs, lyrics and artists that have accompanied me throughout my life.

It’s pivotal question is whether the lyrics and songs we are listening to form us or we choose the songs that resemble our feelings and situations we face.

The project is also a reflection on today’s listening habits. We tend to listen to the music but we won’t pay attention to the deeper meaning of the lyrics. But sometimes fragments that match a personal situation stick to our head.

These are the „lost quotes“

LIEDER INSPIRIEREN, BEEINFLUSSEN UND ERINNERN AN ERLEBNISSE, ERFAHRUNGEN UND MENSCHEN. „LOST QUOTES“ IST EIN PROJEKT, DAS MEINE LIEBLINGSSONGS MIT EIGENEN FOTOGRAFIEN INTERPRETIERT UND ERGÄNZT. ES IST EIN TRIBUT AN DIE LIEDER, TEXTE UND KÜNSTLER, DIE MICH MEIN LEBEN LANG BEGLEITEN.

Eine zentrale Frage bei „lost quotes“ ist, ob die Texte und Lieder den Menschen formen, oder ob sich der Mensch die Musik und Worte aussucht, die zu ihm und seinem Leben passen.

Das Projekt soll auch eine Anspielung an unser Hörverhalten sein. Wir hören Musik nebenbei, setzen uns aber nur selten mit der tieferen Bedeutung der Texte auseinander. Trotzdem bleiben oft Fragmente hängen, die für immer zu einem einzigartigen und persönlichen Moment gehören werden.

Das sind die „lost quotes – verlorene Zitate“
