“I have always thought that the expression ‘decisive moment’, when related to the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, was inappropriate. In my opinion, it should be called the ‘decisive instant’. What makes HCB’s images so powerful is their intensity, the fact that the image was taken at X instant, in a fraction of a second, and that at instant X more or less 1/125th of this second, the photograph would not be as interesting or as effective. I admire this virtuosity, however, this is not what I am looking for in my own work. I am looking more for the moment than an instant. The instant risks falling into the mode of the anecdote, or that which can only be exceptional. The moment, which I feel belongs more the grammar of the cinema, has a more enduring, universal appeal—and this is what interests me. In the image I chose, the instantaneous nature of the moment is captured in the photographic background: the plane has been frozen at the precise instant when it detaches itself from the television antenna. The principal subject, Ah Sai, a young member of a Hong Kong secret society, crouches on a Kowloon city rooftop, lost in his thoughts, still. His pose and facial expression remained unmoving for a long moment. What gives this image strength, according to me, is the combination of a precise photographic instant caught in a lasting cinematic moment.” — Patrick Zachmann
