My inspiration was this photograph of a German see captain
ehhh... because you had to choose an object from the museums collection
and it triggered of associations from my childhood from reading Herman Melvin
the american writer Moby ***, which is one of his master pieces
and the mad captain Ahab in that novel and that also opened up other memories
of films, munitny and the bounty with the sadistic Captain Bly
Jules Vern Captain Nemo so I kind of retreated back into my
childhood memories of literature and film and these images of mad,
evil captains suddenly erupted while probably he is a nice
-mayby- sea captain
so it was memories and fictions about the captain as an authority figure
who could play good on board ship and most of the figures from
literature and the films they deal with this tragic doom captains
not the nice ones because the nice ones,
the nice ones are boring the crazy ones are interesting
and that´s what they make films and literature about
