Jürgen Baldiga

1959–1993

1959 born a strong eight-pounder

A miner’s son

Moved to Berlin in 1979 – jobs as chef/barkeeper/lover/prostitute/occasional worker

Since 1980 first steps towards the beaux-arts poetry/music/film/performance

1984 sensual acquisition of an immune deficiency

Since 1985 self-taught photographic artist

Since 1989 full (clinical) picture, or rather: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
