I don't necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It's just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.
Barbara Kruger... the thing that's happening today vis-รก-vis computer imaging, vis-รก-vis alteration, is that it no longer needs to be based on the real at all. I don't want to get into jargon - let's just say that photography to me no longer pertains to the rhetoric of realism; it pertains more perhaps to the rhetoric of the unreal rather than the real or of course the hyperreal.
Barbara KrugerI have problems with a lot of photography, particularly street photography and photojournalism - objectifying the other, finding the contempt and exoticism that you might feel within yourself or toward yourself and projecting it out to others. There can be an abusive power to photography, too.
