A text by Michel Tournier on the photographer Édouard Boubat. Autograph text on a large 4-page folio, signed at the end of the text. The secret of photographic portraiture lies in the quality of the relationship the photographer must create with his model. There can be no portrait without some kind of dialogue between model and photographer. For years now, I've been observing with undying admiration what must be called the Boubat mystery. This mystery is the strange and profound resemblance between the men and women he photographs. On these faces, all of them extremely naked, is reflected the same expression of confident abandonment, of intimate accord with the breathing of the world, of smiling consent to the things of life. It seems that wherever he goes, Boubat knows how to elicit a moment of innocence and remission, a general disarming of hearts, and a tender, airy celebration begins. Michel Tournier
