More quotes by Joan Fontcuberta
Every photograph is a fiction with pretensions to truth. Despite everything that we have been inculcated, all that we believe, photography always lies it lies instinctively, lies because its nature does not allow it to do anything else.
Joan Fontcuberta
Photography... has lived under the tyranny of its subject matter: the object has exercised an almost total domination.
Joan Fontcuberta
The world begins with every kiss.
Joan Fontcuberta
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?
Joan Fontcuberta
The heart [of my work], the quintessential, remains the questioning of photographic truth. Be careful, be critical, doubt, and filter the information you receive.
