“The work of Michael Defner prove to be a testimony of being open to phantasy, but also show the recipient's willingness to accept open space, without pushing or shoving, without turning
it into an end in itself. In each piece, Michael Defner is telling a story by finding a form that exists both partially and in its entity. He has created work that is object and draft at the same time, that is not only a lost treasure waiting to be found by people but allow a treasure map in the reader's hands.”
