Oliver Herring quotes

“Most people are much more unusual and complicated and eccentric and playful and creative than they have time to express.”
-- Oliver Herring -
“If somebody actually just walks up to you and says, ‘Hey, do you want to do something out of the ordinary?’ there might be a little reluctance at first. But deep down, you want to do it. It’s adventure. That’s what brings people in front of the camera. I also feel that when you’re in your own environment that’s where you experiment, where you do all kinds of crazy stuff. So I thought, ‘Okay, let’s just see what happens if I allow that to unfold.’”
-- Oliver Herring -
“Perhaps the more ‘operatic’ video pieces were a reaction to my knit sculpture, which kept me isolated for so long in the studio that the videos were a way for me to be social and flamboyant and to change my mind all the time. Because when I did the knit pieces, once I committed myself to a piece I was locked into an idea and the only thing that could really move was my mind. The early video pieces were a way for me to express what was going on in my mind.”
-- Oliver Herring -
“Everyone is a creative agent. ... The tools are your imagination and your imagination is limitless.”
-- Oliver Herring -

“Part of the value of TASK is not to invest into anything permanent; to really celebrate the moment-the fluidity of creative action.”
