Please, look.
For example, everyone must think that seeing that garden once is enough…
And so they fail to see Ryōan-ji for what it is.
They find themselves going to Ryōan-ji less and less…
Going to see that garden seems such a dreary business, they think… I was the same…
Perhaps what suddenly made me decide to go that morning was meant to make me realize that mistake…
Everything is light.
That is what I mean.
I had not wanted to say it here, but Ryōan-ji is a world of sensuality.
It is just like my photographs…
If countless people were to come to orgasm looking at my photographs, that would be the fulfillment of my deepest wish.
For life is sensuality, and death is the loss of sensuality.
Everything is light.
Giovanni and I think so.
We are people who journey through the light and darkness of the world… people who know everything.
My photographs are a feast of sensuality = a feast of life.
lives of pain　lives of sorrow　lives of joy　foolish lives　ugly lives　idiotic lives
stupid lives　hopeless lives　lives devoted solely to finding money　infuriating lives
lives tormented by the need to find money　lives sustained by finding money　lives smug about that alone
may all lives　if only for this very moment　have joy　and light　at that moment　I　pray.
