Thomas Sing's first book comes to grips with the intellectual and artistic references of more than two decades. It is an open invitation to hunt down their traces, a visual journey, just as tender as it is violent. By no means an anthology but a completely original work coming full-circle, providing a base for his new projects to dock onto. With all its images shot on film, and its texts flashing through, Until I Break sets memories free, just to sweep them away. In their up-lighting, yet even more in their fading, they refer straight to that inner experience to which Sing's newest works are aiming.

All through my life I have been seeking to transcend my body and my mind through all sorts of experiences – physically, intellectually, ritually. An almost innate discipline paired with an obsessive nature fuels this search to this day into my artistic practice. To go deeper is to experience new things, is to learn new ways to share the experience with others. Therefore my artistic practice is both insular and communioning, both of the soul and the flesh.
