Christian Angl about his work:
"My works live through a compression of space and the predominant feelings within them. That presses daily routine and the seemingly neglectable life around the next corner into compact stories.

Film stills from the life of unknown protagonists, whom one has really always known but whose name one can never really remember. Just as in an unplanned snapshot, impressions are created that generate more questions than answers.

The general challenge to complete the stories yourself is attached to every work. I really only give the observer atmospheric starting points."
