"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"The work is about conflicting obsessions- twinship and opposition. It’s about people who look the same but aren’t, about boys that look like girls or girls that look like boys, or boys that look like athletes and aren’t, or boys that look like soldiers and aren’t. It’s a metaphor for the Jew and the German- German Jews thinking they were the same as Germans and yet being so different..."
