Looking is not indifferent. There can never be any question of 'just looking'.
Victor Burgin
Our conviction that we are free to choose what we make of a photograph hides the complicity to which we are recruited in the very act of looking.
Victor Burgin
Even the uncaptioned art photograph is invaded by language in the very moment it is looked at: in memory, in association, snatches of words and images continually intermingle and exchange one for the other.
Victor Burgin
The wholeness, coherence, identity, which we attribute to the depicted scene [in a photograph] is a projection, a refusal of an impoverished reality in favour of an imagined plenitude.
Victor Burgin
The only pertinent political question in relation to an identity [or its photograph] is not Is it really coherent? but What does it actually achieve?
Victor Burgin
