I started with ornaments, with batik, and turned out a painter and graphic artist. In 1971 I chance upon the literature of the Polish-Jewish writer/artist Bruno Schulz and know I have to pass by there. After an incubation of seven years I set out. Hundreds of drawings, some 300 etchings and several portraits of him bear witness of this more than six years' journey. And I start to write, in German, my mothertongue. From 1986 to 1993, at the 'Institute of Theater Research' in Amsterdam, I am working on theater, playing it myself; among others in Amsterdam and in Berlin, where I was born in 1940. In 1989 my experiences lead to found the BRUNO SCHULZ INSTITUTE. In 1995 I join a walk of Africans and Europeans from Mombasa in Kenya to Kampala in Uganda. Since 1996, volunteering for the Netherlands Senior-Experts (PUM), I have worked in Cameroon, Kenya and Mali. In 1998, along the Ucayali and Pisqui river, I fall in love with Peru.
