I believe that the essence of photography is black and white. Color is but a deviance.

Very often I say to myself: I would like to make a photo where nothing happens. But in order to eliminate, there has to be something to begin with. For nothing to happen, something has to happen first.

[Photography] is always like a state of grace, like the appearance of something that I hadn't foreseen, that surprises me and stops me. If I only did what I had in mind, there would be no emotion. It would be like keeping one's eyes shut rather than open, like theorizing rather than seeing.

What I aim at is an image with a minimum of information and markers, that has no reference to a given time or place.

I create situations that do not exist. I seek the truth from fiction.

Once is sometimes enough and once is sometimes necessary.
