“Alone on the stage of the photograph we act out dreams and nightmares, donning this or that persona, offering ourselves up to the lens's impassive eye. In doing so we strive to make the apparatus complicit in our desires. The self depicted is neither true nor false but possible, potential; the image provides a meeting ground for the mirroring deceptions of the medium and the pose.
In all its conditionality, all its self-assurance and paradox, the photograph forms a membrane between here and there, now and then, real and imaginary, hope and fear--between self and shadow.” - Aperture magazine 1989
