“As an artist, culture enthusiast and also as a curator, it is always important to me to show the versatility of Austrian culture and also to contribute to it. There is room for everyone and that is something worth protecting.”
“In my life I have seen many things, many different things, but there is one experience I have always shared, no matter on which continent I have performed: Art brings people together.”
