"In the 90s, I was a student at the Beaux-Arts and the Institut des Hautes Etudes en Arts plastiques in Paris. I felt a real social violence, much more than in Denmark. France is a class society. The inequalities there are, in my opinion, more cultural than economic. This imbalance is partly expressed by violence, which I believe can bring about change, although I am a pacifist. During the events of 2005, I was abroad. But that headline brought me back to the feeling I had in Paris. Urban violence has long fascinated and inspired me. At the beginning, alongside Jes Brinch, I made a series of installations, in Copenhagen or New York, introducing burnt-out cars or overturned buses in museums and public places. Today, my approach is less spectacular, more introspective. A question of age no doubt! Reworking this front page was therefore a way for me to reinterview urban violence, unfortunately still current, by giving a new material to an already realized object. I appreciate the graphic design, the logo and the layout of Libération. It's one of the newspapers, along with the Guardian and the New York Times, to which I am particularly attached. As an artist, I don't take a stand for a specific cause. But globalization, climate change, technological progress are social phenomena that feed my works. My commitment is this work of interpretation of reality that I lead, it is the defense of spaces of freedom. »
