" Photography fixes appearances to delay the final disappearance when we have ceased to live. At the same time we know that these images are like fragile monuments and will survive us for some time. Derisory attempts surely, but probably for that reason necessary. Photography also seduces us because it seems to organize the confusion of reality by fragmenting and revealing the visible as transparent and tangible. Paradoxically, the fragments yield an original globality of which we are afraid to find ourselves separate. (.)
