Useful Quote for Future Work

May 21, 2010 by Nicholas Hedges

“It’s as if the Photograph always carries its referent with itself, both affected by the same amorous or funereal immobility, at the very heart of the moving world: they are glued together, limb by limb, like the condemned man and the corpse… two leaves cannot be separated without destroying them both: the window-pane and the landscape…”

Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida
