“I think we seem to remember things in still pictures. I never gave up on painting.

“And one has to remember that no photography can pretend to show the truth. A picture only shows a given situation under a very specific perspective, consciously or not, openly or not, relevantly or not. Photographers have to accept they can just convey fragments of illusory realities and relate their own intimate experience of the world. In this process of fictionalising an unreachable truth, it's up to them to impose their doubts about any photographic truth, or accept being impotent pawns in the mediatic game.” WorldShowsRealityRememberGamesGivenProcessSituationAcceptingDoubtPerspectivePhotographyPhotographerRelateIntimateFragmentsPawnsIllusoryUnreachable Author:Antoine D'Agata

“One of my oldest friends from Kansas, his sister was married to Ben [Folds] and wrote lyrics on his first couple of albums.
