We are not only a civilization of amateur photographers; we are amateur curators, editors, and publishers.

Photography's relationship with pornography is as old as photography. That kind of unholy relationship is formed from the very beginning, and there's a reason why: it's thoroughly enjoyable to be that voyeuristic. Voyeurism is a very old modality, and most of the history of photography is in some way related voyeurism.

I think the twenty-first-century modality is exhibitionism. Exhibitionism is our contemporary strategy for maintaining our boundaries, which is to be boundary-less - to put everything out there before somebody comes and violates or penetrates something that we're keeping sacred.

I think that the role of curating an exhibition is to reanimate history and make it relevant to a contemporary viewer.

Your image is your currency in this world.

The real beauty of the time we're living through is that we can deploy our self-image in ways that can have radical social implications.

There's something quite magical that can happen when a secret is no longer a secret - or is a shared secret or a common secret. By allowing those boundaries to be porous, certain forms of oppression may be lifted.
