Image
New skin, a new land! And a land of liberty, if that is possible! I chose the geology of a land that was new to me.

Salvador Dali
Image
Photographic data... is still and ESSENTIALLY THE SAFEST POETIC MEDIUM and the most agile process for catching the most delicate osmoses which exist between reality and surreality. The mere fact of photographic transposition means a total invention: the capture of a secret reality.

Geniuses must never die, the progress of mankind depends on us

Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.
