Hungry man, reach for the book: it is a weapon.
Bertolt Brecht
In the very beginning, when the operator controls and regulates his
time exposure, when in the dark-room the developer is mixed for
detail, breadth, flatness, or contrast, faking has been resorted to.
In fact, every photograph is a fake from start to finish, a purely im­
personal, unmanipulated photograph being practically impossible.

During a year spent in Israel, I experienced
intense flashback memories from my childhood, quite unexpectedly, memories of
growing up behind the Iron Curtain… The
familiarity of a strictly delineated territory,
played out between a wall and a sea, started
to connect and overlap in my mind. Tension
and a sense of physical and psychological
danger hung in the air – very basic human
emotions that cannot be ignored.

The event which Guidi here narrates is the process whereby
light itself takes on form within a room, slowly moving and
mutating as the hours go by. The cone of vision becomes
the cone of light itself, inundating space, lending it shape.

...the mass-produced furniture in the
lounge, the over-enameled gadgets
in the kitchen, his car in the garage
– de-identified, it sat in the half-light
like an enormous vegetable marrow,
flaccid and gleaming…

Whatever is unnamed, undepicted in images, whatever is omitted from
biography, censored in collections of letters, whatever is misnamed as
something else, made difficult-to-come-by, whatever is buried in the
memory by the collapse of meaning under an inadequate or lying language – this will become, not merely unspoken, but unspeakable.
Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets and Silence
Pull in. Hand-break. Ignition off.
When I was a kid I watched my dad fill up the car. But I never saw the gasoline. Out of one machine, into another. Invisible, dangerous, precious. One day he let me do it.
It went all over our shoes. Gasoline

I found America a very colour-conscious
country. Colour is very much part of their
culture, and they use it in crazy ways. You
look down Madison Avenue at lunchtime
and the colours just vibrate.

Understanding the world requires you to keep a certain distance from it.
Almost There
Things that are too small to see with the naked eye, such as molecules

and atoms, we magnify. Things that are too large, such as cloud formations, river deltas, constellations, we reduce. At length we bring it within
the scope of our senses and we stabilise it with fixer. When it has been

Many sub-genres of photography are
determined by the social functions of
the camera. The Hidden Mother is one
of them, sitting between the invention
of the burqa and Houdini’s escapology.
