'La macchina fotografica è per me un blocco di schizzi, lo strumento dell'intuito e della spontaneità.'
Henri Cartier-Bresson
“A photograph is neither taken or seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson -
“This recognition, in real life, of a rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation, being a simultaneous coalition – an organic coordination of visual elements.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson
The Photograph is an extended, loaded evidence — as if it caricatured not the figure it represents (quite the converse) but its very existence ... The Photograph then becomes a bizarre, new form of hallucination: false on the level of perception, true on the level of time: a temporal hallucination, so to speak, a modest,shared,hallucination (on the one hand 'it is not there,' on the other 'but it has indeed been'): a mad image, annoyed by reality.
