Dieter Meier on Dieter Meier: Rarely am I overtaken by the madness of being the creator of things that have come my way over the years. On the journey into the shell of Mr. Meier, a footprint emerges as an imprint of the passage through these few tens of thousands of days, sometimes amusing, sometimes barren and pretentious, often washed away, but always insignificant in that sense, because what is relevant does not exist without leaving a trace, but rather the hopefully lifelong recognition of the world and my utterly insignificant self as a part of it. The conversation with a taxi driver, the making of a film, the creation of a text, all serve the joy of self-discovery in the spirit of the wonderful Michel de Montaigne, so that little Dieter can leave the planet after a brief visit in a few decades and move on into the depths of the universe, where a perfectly chilled beer has been waiting since the Big Bang.
