The Photograph is concerned with the power that the past has to interfere with the present: the time bomb in the cupboard.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The notion of time bothers me. You look at thirty-year-old photographs and realize how the time has passed.
The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.
I wanted to make pictures where you would not know who took them. I also bring the present into the past.
If anything, the power of the cover of 'Time' has increased as the media landscape has atomized.
Time puts things in proper perspective.
Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again.
The past becomes a texture, an ambience to our present.
The past is not simply the past, but a prism through which the subject filters his own changing self-image.
Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.
