Only powerfully conceived images have the ability to penetrate the memory, to stay there, in short to become unforgettable.

To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain.

If you take your inspiration from nature, you don't invent anything, because what you want to do is to interpret something. But still, everything passes throught your imagination. What you produce at the end is very different from the reality you started with.

The surrealism of my pictures was nothing but the real made eerie by vision. I was trying to express reality, for there is nothing more surrealist.

The wall, safe haven for what is forbidden, gives a voice to all those who would, without it, be condemned to silence

My ambition was always to show aspects of daily life as if we were seeing them for the first time.

After twenty years you can begin to be sure of what camera will do.
