“To travel is to discover the other in oneself! […] I have been travelling the world as an observer for more than 20 years, I traverse its towns and villages with an impetuous and obsessive desire to meet the other—the other as a subject—and to recover the signs of a shared and essential universality.” (Robert Cahen)
