My first oil sketch, a prehistoric mammal, painted from a children's cosmos book.

Unforgettable, what a feeling of happiness this picture triggered. That I, the little boy I was back then, could make such an animal. Out of nothing.

For me, this is the core of the fascination that making pictures holds.

The second oil sketch. Same feeling.

A commercial watercolor I found somewhere in Holland. At the time it made a huge impression on me because it looked so realistic with such simple means. An initial spark.

I didn't know for a long time that I had even photographed it.

At Christmas, I discovered some very strange Polaroids in my aunt's house in northern France. Only after a while did I realize that they showed us, our family. But from the point of view of a little girl who didn't feel at home at all. An abyss where I had never seen one. At first I had no idea how to deal with it artistically.

"Eagle1"

"Eagle" is based on video footage of laser-guided bombs released by NATO during the Kosovo war.

All individual images were digitized and - starting from the last frame, immediately before the bomb hit - successively enlarged in such a way that the bomb's approach to the target is neutralized.

Light Jet - Print, 250 x 200 cm 1999

The reversal of the principle of "Eagle": A NATO speaker presents a video recording of a laser bomb during the Kosovo war. Starting from the first frame, all subsequent frames are successively reduced in size so that the images themselves appear to fly into the target. And the NATO speaker flies with them.

Actually a quite unspectacular photo. . And yet there is something special in it. Perhaps it is for being a very personal scene and yet the face is cut off. But above all the light. That's it

My first find from Kemmerer 2011. The preparation immediately brought surprises: The slab is prepared from below. A Mioplosus, which had been bitten by a crocodile, sank dead to the bottom of the lake and has smashed headfirst through the dorsal fin of the main fish, which was already lying in the silt. The small fish on the top left is by far the rarest, a mooneye. These only came into the lake from tributaries to spawn

In every respect the opposite image to the photo above left: The perpetrator side, reversal of light dark, winter and spring, leisure and liberation, horror and recreation. A poorly developed photo creates the contrast

Martin Dammann collection

A very strange photo. A staging in a team room. A champagne bottle, a figure with a mask, inflated condoms. But for what? A joke, a birthday, congratulations, a long-distance wedding?

An early carnivore from the Messel Pit. Stomach contents and even hair are preserved. According to one theory, it is not the soft tissue itself that is preserved, but only the iron-containing secretions of the bacteria that decomposed the hair and soft tissue. Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt

Two split sides containing a swallow-like bird from the Messel Pit. The animal was prepared from one side, then cast in resin and also prepared from the other side. In the end, all that remains is the wafer-thin layer that forms the fossil itself. If you hold such a slab up to the light, you think you are looking at a photo of the animal.

They consist of an uninterrupted sequence of strata from the Miocene (at the foot of the mountains, ca. 20 million years) to Precambrian sediments at the top, which are up to 2 billion years old.

A skull! When I dug it out, I thought it was a sabre-toothed cat. But during preparation it turned out to be a bear dog. Not quite as spectacular, but even rarer here. Lusk, Wyoming

A small skull. I only saw it the second time I walked past. The double bone crest makes it recognizable as Leptictis, a living fossil that was still walking around between the legs of dinosaurs. Lusk, Wyoming

The skull of a primitive horse. Without the pandemic, I would probably have found it 1 or 2 years earlier and more complete. Lusk, Wyoming

The wing of a giant grasshopper-like insect surfaces

Some of the wings still show the insect's camouflage pattern. A tiny window into a 270 million year old world. Madygen, Kyrgyzstan

A winged insect in reverse position. Unfortunately, the matrix is so soft that we have not yet found a good method for preparing the fossils. Madygen, Kyrgyzstan
