Photography is a tool to negotiate our idea of reality. Thus it is the responsibility of photographers to not contribute with anaesthetic images but rather to provide images that shake consciousness.

Among photojournalists there is still a sense that doing a photomontage is far graver than adding a filter. I am against this type of hierarchy that demonizes some options over others, demonizes them in respect to, what - ideology or moral code?

Photography... has lived under the tyranny of its subject matter: the object has exercised an almost total domination.

Photography mirrored the [nineteenth century] will towards rigor, towards defining details, the need for miniscule description, the long-distance optics, for technology at the service of truth, for concepts of credibility, of objectivity, the need to archive, for the consolidation of institutions like the museum, in short, towards a need to control memory.

I need there to be documentary photographers, because my work is meta-documentary; it is a commentary about the documentary use of photography.

I have always thought that the photographer does artistic work and that art consists of working with fictional premises.
