मेरी माँ की एक दुकान हुआ करती थी जहाँ वे बहुत रंग-बिरंगे कपड़े बेचती थीं। मुझे बचपन से ही वह सब बहुत पसंद था।

My mother used to have a shop in which she offered very colorful clothes. I liked that from my early days on.

रेना सोफिया के लिए जो बगीचा मैंने लगाया, उसमें लगा हर पौधा कैलेंडर के अलग-अलग त्योहारों से जुड़ा था—क्रिसमस सदाबहार पेड़ों के साथ, वेलेंटाइन डे गुलाब के साथ, और हैलोवीन कद्दू के साथ। ये सभी प्रतीक सांस्कृतिक रूप से बहुत गहरे हैं, लेकिन वे जीवित जीव हैं—ठीक वैसे ही जैसे टैंकों में रहने वाली मछलियाँ। वे अपने आप बढ़ते हैं। यह प्रतीकात्मक पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र अब किसी कहानी के सहारे के बिना खुद बढ़ रहा है। यह एक शारीरिक और मानसिक परिदृश्य है।

With the garden I planted for the Reina Sofia, each plant related to different celebrations along the calendar - Christmas with evergreen trees, Valentine's Day with roses, Halloween with pumpkins. All these symbols are so culturally loaded, but they are organic living entities - just like the fish in the tanks. They grow on their own. The symbolic ecosystem is growing without a narrative anymore. It's a physical and mental landscape.

कला पर किसी का मालिकाना हक नहीं होता। इसका क्या मतलब है? हम तो कला के संरक्षक मात्र हैं। कला हमारे साथ एक सफर पर है। इसीलिए नीलामी एक अद्भुत चीज़ है। आप ताली बजाते हैं और चीज़ें कबूतरों की तरह उड़कर उन दूसरी जगहों पर पहुँच जाती हैं जहाँ उनकी रक्षा की जाएगी, जिनसे प्यार किया जाएगा। मेरा यही मानना है।

You don't own art. What does that mean? We are trustees of art. Art is in transit with us. That is why an auction is a wonderful thing. You clap your hands and the objects fly away like doves and find other places where they will be protected, loved. That's what I believe.

बेशक फोटोग्राफी में चीज़ों को समेटने और छोटा करने की एक प्रवृत्ति होती है—यानी हक़ीक़त के एक हिस्से को फ्रेम में कैद करना और उसके बड़े हिस्से (यानी बाकी की पूरी दुनिया) को बाहर छोड़ देना। यह कुछ-कुछ वैसा ही है जैसे हम अपने जीवन में मौजूद अनगिनत अनियंत्रित संभावनाओं को सोच-समझकर किसी तरह अपने नियंत्रण में रखते हैं।

There's a reductiveness to photography, of course - in the framing of reality and the exclusion of chunks of it (the rest of the world, in fact).

मुझे सचमुच लगता है कि प्रेरणा रोज़मर्रा की ज़िंदगी से ही मिलती है। हमारे आस-पास ऐसी कई चीज़ें होती हैं जो हमारी दिलचस्पी जगाती हैं—ज़रूरी नहीं कि वे कोई बहुत बड़े झटके वाले पल हों—बल्कि ऐसी चीज़ें जो बस आपको भौचक्का कर देती हैं। और अक्सर यही पल प्रेरणा के बीज बनते हैं। कभी ये दोस्तों के साथ किसी अच्छी बातचीत में मिलते हैं, कभी किसी लाइव परफ़ॉर्मेंस में, किसी पढ़ी हुई चीज़ में, या किसी फ़िल्म के ट्रेलर में... मुझे लगता है कि प्रेरणा हमारे आस-पास ही बिखरी होती है। हमें बस यह सीखना है कि जब वह मिले तो उसे पहचानें, और उस पल को सहेज कर रखें ताकि ज़रूरत पड़ने पर हम उस तक वापस लौट सकें।

I really do think inspiration comes from day-to-day life. I think there's things that pique our interest - not necessarily aha! moments - but things that just kinda make you raise your eyebrows. And those are often the moments that are the seeds of inspiration. Sometimes they're in a great conversation with friends, sometimes they're things you see live, something you read, a movie trailer you watch... I think inspiration is kind of laid out there. One thing we have to practice is recognizing when it happens, and recording that moment so we can come back to it.

जब मैं किसी के घर जाता हूँ, तो मुझे उनकी किताबों का संग्रह देखना बहुत अच्छा लगता है। मुझे लगता है कि यह किसी के दिमाग़ और जीवनशैली की एक बेहतरीन झलक होती है। मेरा मानना है कि हर किसी को अपनी किताबों की रीढ़ (पिठिया) की तस्वीरें खींचकर एक वेबसाइट बनानी चाहिए। सच कह रहा हूँ।

I really like looking at other people's book collections when I'm at someone's house. I think it is an amazing cross section of a person's brain and lifestyle. I think everyone should photograph their book spines and make a website. Seriously.
