Resonance

For the past 50 years I’ve been making photographs for this body of work I think of as “Conceptual Documentary”. The photographs, for me, reflect a view of the world as a series of events – some that we experience as fleeting signs of a reality that seems to live on the edges of our consciousness. In significant ways, this work is strongly informed by writers like Camus, Sartre and Dostoevsky. The images acknowledge that reality is an individual and collective creation. These photographs ask questions about the nature of reality and truth. As Jean Baudrillard once told me during a picnic in Arles, “the photograph is not a document – it is a fiction”.
