Anselm Kiefer Ruin Quotations

The reason for this project comes from my childhood, that is clear to me. I did not have any toys. So, I played in the bricks of ruined buildings around me and with which I built houses.

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning.

As a child I had no toys; our house was bombed, but there were lots of bricks. Ruins are wonderful because they are the beginning of something new, you can do something with them.
