"In the retrospective, focal points become clear that always have to do with life circumstances that determine themes or approaches. For Frank Mädler, cities such as Leipzig, Madrid, Toronto or Cuenca could be mentioned, but ultimately these biographical localisations are irrelevant: Everything could also happen or have happened somewhere else. For him, it is much more about using the coincidences of being here or there, in the interplay of what he has found and what has developed from it."
