“I think the basic idea of the pictures I take comes primarily from my youth and the associated image of being different. In retrospect, this can probably be classified as a stereotype of a certain subculture and in my case it’s a mixture of Punk, Skate and Graffiti. The interesting thing for me, however, was always the motivation to be different. What was generally on offer didn’t suit us which is why we looked for an alternative to demonstrate that I’m not part of you, I’m part of me, we are part of us. We shape our identity instead of letting it shape us.” This is how photographer Felix Aaron describes his particular view of freedom.
