Marlon Kowalski is desperately trying not to count anything.

MOSSLESS: Where did the plates idea come from?
MARLON KOWALSKI: Strictly speaking, these plates were no idea. They were obvious. I looked for something that would help me to understand what a picture is. Or the space. Or a picture of the space. Or the space in a picture. Or nothing of it. Something that’s quite difficult to tell but really easy to photograph. And in my opinion, these plates look interesting…

ML: “There are no good pictures. None. Nowhere. Never. Only stories…” Care to explain?
MK: Uhm. Some rubbish talk from my Online account? Seriously, I had some confusion in mind as I wrote this. Some people try to put photographs into strict categories. I instead love pictures that act as questions. Hence, the narrative aspect that I mentioned could be understood visually.

ML: You quoted Jimi Berlin on your flickr profile. Who is he?
MK: A musician. A little sluggish but accurate musician. A German musician above all.

ML: What in Germany inspires you?
MK: That Germans always try to put everything into strict categories.
