Cage7/9/2019 Following Cage's essay, 'Indeterminacy', one might approach photography as a kind of improvised performance, with the photographer 'arbitrarily [..] going outwards with reference to the structure of his mind to the point of sense perception, following his taste; or more or less unknowingly by employing some operation exterior to his mind [..] The ego no longer blocks action'.
Perec7/6/2019 `There are pictures because there are walls. We have to be able to forget there are walls, and have found no better way to do that than pictures. Pictures efface walls. But walls kill pictures. So we need continually to be changing, either the wall or the picture, to be forever putting other pictures up on the walls, or else constantly moving the pictures from one wall to another.' - Georges Perec, Species of Spaces, trans. by John Sturrock.
Brodsky7/3/2019 `It is a virtue, I came to believe long ago, not to make a meal out of one’s emotional life. There’s always enough work to do, not to mention that there’s world enough outside.’ - Joseph Brodsky
Ghirri7/2/2019 `Photography always implies subtraction, or a sense of something missing, something outside the frame’ - Luigi Ghirri
