If people want to interpret my work as warnings about too much overpopulation, disease and mechanization in the future, then that is up to them.

You know, I did that back when I was doing my Spell paintings, 1973-'76 and I was fascinated by this Baphomet image, and so this was long before I met Akron, who I've known for about twelve years or so.

I like to combine human beings, creatures and biomechanics. And I love to work with bones - they are elemental and function and, after all, are part of human beings. I have many bones in my home in Zurich, and I study them and use them as models.

It's also not so easy, you know in the beginning I worked on these paintings just on a roll of paper which I fixed with two nails on the wall and I spread out just the top so I could work on it. I had to sit to work with the airbrush so I set my elbows on my knees, so they wouldn't move.

Well that was a thick book, about 500 pages. And it's much more worked out than the translations in the small booklet the other company [the publisher before Taschen - A. G. Muller] produced for the English-speaking market.

No, I didn't work it out upside down, I never turned it around.

Yes, I was invited to a party and there were some very nice people there, and the hosts wanted to get in contact with me and Sergius Golowin, the writer, and there was also among this small group of people, "artists" if you like - Akron - a very enigmatic figure.

Yeah - some objects are of course existing, like the gun, I have a pump shotgun like the one in Pump Excursion.

Some people say my work is often depressing and pessimistic, with the emphasis on death, blood, overcrowding, strange beings and so on, but I don't really think it is.

I don't know, if somebody doesn't tell me how would I know?

The blade, and the round thing - they are the coins or whatever, they are all there. That's true, they are all there, I didn't realize that.

You know, it was just another presentation of my work, and a funny one, because the cards are quite different from the normal Tarot deck, no?

There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it.

You know, I said I have this problem that I need to more carefully read Akron's text because it's too much, too much fantasy, and so I am busy with other stuff - it's funny, it's nice to hear that someone is studying that carefully and now I know a little bit more about that.

Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future.

You know I was curious - I was interested in all kinds of mystery or deeper meanings in the paintings because I myself have not analyzed why they have turned out like this or like that.

I couldn't see the rest of the painting when I worked on the upper part - it was not stretched out - the surface was not rolled out so I had only the surface I was working on in my view. Maybe that has something to do with it - it makes the whole thing have less fixed perspective.
