It's pretentious to say, but my art is like a little Zen story, a story with a question mark at the end. People can take from it what they need. If somebody says, "Your art is very funny," I say, "You are totally right." If somebody says, "Your art is very sad," I say, "You are totally right." In Japan they say, "Your art is very Japanese, you even look Japanese.Your great-grandfather was most surely a Japanese man." And I say, "You are totally right."

I think that all human activity is stupid. Artistic activity is also stupid, but you can see it more clearly.

The photo replaces the memory. When someone dies, after a while you can't visualize them anymore, you only remember them through their pictures.

You are what you are because your parents made love at that exact moment, and if they made love one second after you would be different.

Photography is used to give evidence, and the evidence is always deceiving.

Art-making is not about telling the truth but making the truth felt

There are very few times in creation in your life. One time is when you become an adult, one time is when your parents die, and the other time is when you are very old.
