'He usually stands at the edge of the action. He doesn't move much, doesn't say much. Conversation, when possible, is sparse. He prefers silence. He lets his gaze wander, looks over and through his surroundings.' This artist created a vast and manifold body of work over several decades, ranging from reportages and portraits to artistic impressions and documentary series. This volume documents his entire career, investigating the multitude of ways he approaches his subjects: portraits of writers, street views, impressions of journeys, and trademark black-and-white images of race cars, canals, and objects from everyday life.
