Je vois donc je suis

Le regard que chacun porte sur le monde est directement lié à ce que l’on est.

L’intérêt de s’arrêter sur le regard d’autrui c’est qu’il montre ce que nous ne voyons pas nous même.

La façon de restituer ce regard dépend de la petite musique que l’on a en soi et de la capacité technique à exprimer le message par la composition, le choix du champ et l’abandon d’un certain hors champ.

La photographie est subjective, ainsi que subversive. La photographie est plus forte parfois que les mots, plus subtile certainement et plus accessible car universelle. Cependant sa lecture et sa compréhension dépendent de références culturelles parfois très distinctes.

En exposant à Karachi quelques unes de mes images les plus personnelles et qui pour moi ont toutes une signification philosophique, je partage avec plaisir mon langage dans l’espoir qu’il soit compris par le plus grand nombre même en dehors des frontières de ma culture.

 

I see, therefore I am

Our view of the world is directly related to who we are.

The point of focusing on the vision of others is that it shows what we do not see ourselves.

The way to capture this vision depends on the little music we have in ourselves and on the technical ability to express the message through composition, the choice of the field and the surrendering of a certain off-field.

Photography is subjective, as well as subversive. Photography is sometimes stronger than words, certainly more subtle and more accessible because it is universal. However, its reading and understanding depends on sometimes very distinct cultural references.

By exhibiting in Karachi some of my most personal images, all of which have philosophical meaning for me, I am delighted to share my language in the hope that it will be understood by as many people as possible, even outside the borders of my culture.
