“i want a glimpse of an idea of what its like to die. i’ll stop when i’m bored or when i’m barking like a dog in the gutter on my hands and knees. i might get hit by a truck before then anyway. cigarettes are such clinical forms. they are like pills. they have purity before you smoke them. they’re expensive, dangerous, from the point you light one to when you stub it out, it’s death.”
—damien hirst in an interview with sophie calle, 1991

Quote
That’s what photography does. It’s very related to poetry. It’s suggestive and fragmentary & unsatisfying in a lot of ways. It’s the art of limitation. Framing the world. It’s as much about what you leave out as what you put in. With photography you have one little moment and you allow everyone else to fill it in.
Alec Soth (via rachelceleste)
