Portrait of a reluctant gentleman

There are many rumors about Eugen: That he was a chemist who made his own amphetamine for example. In this portrait Eugen is captured in a handful of surrealistic images, while he reluctantly shares his thoughts.

“The only thing I can honestly say is that I have never been in an aerial act… That’s not on my CV but apart from that, I’ve dabbled in everything… I’ve done my share of things, both good and bad. I’ve done a lot of mischief too… If you only know…”

Civil Servant P327JUM

“You have to get up in time, so you can get to work in time, so you can get home in time, so you can get to bed in time… Life's supposed to be a bit grim sometimes. I like ordinary days when nothing very festive happens. No cake with your coffee. We’re not just here to have fun.”
