corpse dream facts interested life nature photograph sleeping tells work
Photographers usually want to photograph facts and things. But I'm interested in the nature of the thing itself. A photograph of someone sleeping tells me nothing about their dream state; a photograph of a corpse tells me nothing about the nature of death. My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient.
consider fantasies trust
The only thing I know anything about are my own fantasies and anxieties. I don't trust my eyes. I consider myself to be a short-story writer.
trust ignorance ifs-and
Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.
