Taryn Simon Quotes

• I'm designing a seductive frame to attract an audience to a subject they would otherwise ignore. And that's what I do in all of my photography - give a stage to things that wouldn't normally receive that stage.

• La capacidad de la fotografía para difuminar la verdad y la ficción es una de sus cualidades más atractivas. Pero cuando se utiliza mal... esta ambigüedad puede tener consecuencias graves, incluso letales.... La ambigüedad de la fotografía, hermosa en un contexto, puede ser devastadora en otro.

• La fotografía documental se está volviendo más ilustrativa a medida que la gente se familiariza con las limitaciones y vulnerabilidades de la fotografía. La realidad siempre se ha interpretado a través de capas de manipulación, abstracción e intervención. Pero ahora está muy a flor de piel. Me gusta esta honestidad sobre su deshonestidad. Toda fotografía tiene muchas verdades y ninguna. Las fotografías son ambiguas, por muy aparentemente científicas que parezcan. Siempre están sujetas a un contexto incontrolable. Es una afirmación manida, pero merece la pena repetirla.

• I'm interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers - or sometimes multiple answers. It's here that I try to imagine patterns or codes to make sense of the unknowns that keep us up at night. I'm also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation.

• Simulations directly relate to the process of and complications in photography. They also overtly create layers of fantasies, myths and interventions... The simulation confuses the idea of a truth. I've always been interested in this kind of theater and illusion at the foundation of belief.
