Winner of numerous awards (Niépce Prize in 2000, Artist of the Year in South Korea in 2017), he has exhibitedin major institutions (Centre Pompidou, Maison Européenne de la Photographie, MetropolitanMuseum of Photography in Tokyo), and published, among others, Balkans-Transit (text by François Maspero), and East to East (text by Erri Le Luca).
