Catalan term or phrase: tot això per no
"Estem davant d'un fotògraf que en el fons del fons no és deutor de cap escola ni mestratge, però en canvi és posseïdor d'un dels graus d'autoconsciència més aguts i sofisticats que recordem en el seu temps: només cal llegir les reflexions que sovint acompanyen els seus projectes per adonar-nos de fins a quin punt practica la fotografia des d'una tradició profundament humanista, un gran coneixement tècnic i una plena consciència dels seus propòsits (***tot això per no*** al·ludir al llibre d'entrevistes amb 14 col•legues, Entre vues, 1990, on es proposa aprofundir en el saber de tots ells bo i fotografiant-los amb l'oïda, com ell mateix diu en el pròleg, amb una imatge del tot feliç i reveladora)."

I'm having trouble finding a suitable formula for this in English. Anyone have a suggestion?

Asker: That is how I almost translated it! And might have been the best choice. I ended up getting outside the text and reformulating. Thanks!
