There is something abominable about cameras, because they possess the power to invent many worlds. As an artist who has been lost in this wilderness of mechanical reproduction for many years, I do not know which world to start with. I have seen fellow artists driven to the point of frenzy by photography.

The memory of what is not may be better than the amnesia of what is.

I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future

History is a facsimile of events held together by finally biographical information.

Let's face it, the human eye is clumsy, sloppy, and unintelligible when compared to the camera's eye.

A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world.
