Steal Your Soul

“Taking photographs is to symbolically snatch away the object we photograph. In some cultures, when he takes a photo the photographer usurps the soul of the photographed person. In the west we have gotten rid of the soul a long time ago, but we have replaced it with intimacy, that luxury of the 20th century, we need to preserve at all cost as before we looked after our “immortal part”. One myth replaces another and establishes a new system of taboos and prohibitions.”
