The works that make up the "Homeless" series are on an emulsion basis laid on with a brush. This technique gives them the character of paintings and at the same time evokes the impression of a fictive past. Despite the archaic illusion, however, it is all too obvious that the pictures are of castaways, the homeless people of the present.

Their tragedies cannot be explained, nor can they be resolved. This is the point where social horror turns into metaphysical fear. The photographs show our defenselessness against the arbitrariness and irrationality of fate. This leads beyond the actual situations of these people: the entire foundations of human existence are being questioned. As long as there are poor people, there may not be rich people, as this is immoral in itself. But if this is the case, then existence is only fear: to some, it is the fear of remorse, to others, it is the fear of its sheer uncertainty.
