"Photographers are always looking at things, but they never question the nature of the thing itself. A photograph of a corpse tells me nothing of the metaphysical implications of death, which are ultimately more significant than its appearance. A photograph of a person whom we find attractive does not reveal the complex nature of the desire that it provokes in us. we are constantly responding without examining the subtle mechanisms of our response. More than ever we live in an atmosphere of desire, being assaulted and manipulated with sexual imagery externally; while internally, we struggle with the needs of our passions, always constrained by the religious and political definitions of society" - Duane Michals
