His works are striking in their strangeness, their will to provoke, their sense of solitude and restlessness: they catch glimpses of truth, which reveal the imperfection and the fictitious nature of an apparently perfect world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rich catalogue represents a journey through the artist''s entire production, offering a complete overview of his work: from the beginning with \u003cem\u003eChessmen\u003c\/em\u003e, the series that made him internationally famous, awarded at the Young European Photographer competition in 1988, up to the recent \u003cem\u003ePalm Springs\u003c\/em\u003e project (2018).
