The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. They believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.

Photography is very presumptuous. Photographers are always photographing other people's lives - something they know nothing about - and drawing great inferences into it.

I already know what things look like - I don't want description. People believe in appearances, and I don't believe in appearances at all.

I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.

To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

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.
