We’re in a massive financial crisis, a couple of wars we can’t afford and living in countries with major social issues. However, I don’t get to hear much politically motivated music. Some people must sing about stuff that’s not just themselves. Where are the Dead Kennedys when you need them?

And maybe more interestingly, they seem to be realizing, some more than others, that the main reason that contemporary art/ photography has gone on as long as it has and is still limping along is that the ideas that lie at its foundation – especially the ideas of conceptualism and intentionality – became institutionalized in the art establishment and the art schools and became things that critics and theoreticians talked about and teachers taught and students learned as a matter of course without anyone really questioning them or subjecting them to critical examination. This began maybe thirty years ago and is still continuing today.

I try to distance myself from a certain type of documentary photography that often avails itself of symbols that are too easy to read and assimilate in order to present a complex reality in a balance that is endlessly discussed over and over between photography as an instrument of documentation and photography as being completely subjective. It isn’t the eye that photography poses on the world that interests me but its most intimate rapport with that world. - Antoine d’Agata, 2004
