More quotes by John Divola
In all my work there's this notion of the melancholic. You can make a photograph about the sublime, but you can't make the sublime itself.
John Divola
I don't look for things to see how they function as metaphors.... You can't photograph the sublime. You can only traffic in the specific and its relationship to the symbolic.
John Divola
I really don't worry too much about what I see through the viewfinder, at least not at that point, especially if I'm using a flash because I don't know what it's going to do. I just see vague potentiality. It's really working with a set of attributes that will hopefully interact in an interesting way.
