Houve um tempo em
que valorizava sobretudo o lado mais espontâneo e natural de uma fotografia. Até
que percebi que ela pode ser sinónimo de profundidade e mistério.
Deve ter sido na
mesma temporada em que vi alguns dos trabalhos de Gregory Crewdson.
“The idea of creating a moment that’s frozen and mute, that
perhaps ultimately asks more questions than it answer, proposes an open-ended
and ambiguous narrative, that allows the viewer to, in a sense, complete it.
Ultimately, I’m interested in this ambiguous moment that draws the viewer in
thought photographic beauty, though repulsion, though some kind of tension.”
”I think I
always have been drawn to photography because I want to construct a perfect
world. I want to try to create this moment that is separate from the chaos of
my life, and to do that I think I create enormous disorder. And I like that
craziness because I think that it creates almost a sort of neurotic energy on
the set, and through that there is a moment of transportation. And in all my pictures
what I am ultimately interested in is that moment of transcendence or
transportation, where one is transported into another place, into a perfect,
still world. Despite my compulsion to create this still world, it always meets
up against the impossibility of doing so. So, I like the collision between this
need for order and perfection and how it collides with a sense of the
impossible. I like where possibility and impossibly meet.”
