This work is not about anything. If you ask me, and I have already been asked, what these images are about, I wouldn’t be able to answer. They are not, like previous works of mine, about the Shoah or about the impossibility of photographing a window or a bowl, nor about the time that flows or the memories of tomorrow. These photographs are not variations on the same subject. They do not show a city or a group of people, in fact, there is no architecture nor faces in these photographs, they are images of a world neither before nor after human presence, but of a world despite people. They should not even be seen, perhaps, as a group of work, as a series, but rather as works per se, mirrors that reflect what I thought, images that live from and for themselves, breathe on themselves, open themselves to the gaze that wants to see them and, on the other hand, close themselves off to contemptuous gazes. And they do not require readings and re-readings through other images that may surround them at this moment. One plus one is still one here. (…)
