"This photobook [Christine Furuya-Gössler Mémoires, 1978-1985] is based on the 'File: Portrait von Christine' that I produced from the end of 1995 to April 1996. The files were taken during a period of seven years and eight months, from when Christine and I first met in Graz on February 17, 1978, to her death in East Berlin on October 7, 1985. It consists of photographs of her, arranged chronologically and chronologically as much as possible.I suddenly felt the urge to create a file.Things I didn't want to see, things I didn't want to know. I suddenly wanted to see it and wanted to know more about it.I couldn't get the question out of my head, 'What was it all about?'"-Seiichi Furuya (excerpt from the preface)
