Cvjetichologue's photostream

I feel very ambivalent about the ends of public photography.

And I am not a big fan of Baudrillard, but he might have been right about this one:
"Créer une image, ça consiste à ôter à l'objet toutes ses dimensions une à une : le poids, le relief, le parfum, la profondeur, le temps, la continuité et bien sûr le sens. C'est au prix de cette désincarnation, de cet exorcisme, que l'image gagne ce plus de fascination, d'intensité."

In rough translation, that would be:
"Creating an image--that consists in removing from the object all its dimensions one by one: weight, relief, smell, depth, time, continuity and of course the meaning. It is at the cost of this dis-incarnation, of this exorcism, that the image acquires fascination and intensity."
