method

It encompasses the " whole spectrum of an idea that flashes up at some point, which is circled in thought until it is refined and just waiting in the eye chamber, so to speak, to be put into practice, " as Natias Neutert emphasizes in his foreword almost hymnically . He praises the comprehensive preparation of Martin Pudenz "up to the activity of the dramaturge, prop master, costume designer, illuminator as well as the director and actor in one person - and with the self-timer also as a photographer of the whole. " Which came about in this or a similar way Portraits of other people, e.g. Contemporaries such as Anthony Quinn , Gottfried John , Götz George , Joschka Fischer or the Nobel Prize winner Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard are " among the most relaxed in which those concerned can find themselves immortalized.
