Sometimes a simple sweater tells you more about the character of its wearer than a long conversation. Take a good look at this black sweater with the cat illustration and you’ll find out a lot about Joerg: first of all it’s well made and well designed (made by Ayzit Bostan, fashion designer, artist), it’s artsy (the illustration is by Martin Fengel, photographer, illustrater, artist) it’s a little childish and it’s got a certain kind of humour (cat, smoking and drinking? ‘When the mice are away the cat will play’…something sounds not right…). And the cat has got a beard. And it glows in the dark. And oddly enough right when I shot Joerg in the park a dog started to do its business right next us, as if to prove a point (too much cat around?) and that’s the comical side of life that Joerg enjoys very much.
