I do not attach much importance to america's bombs. i attach importance to her great vitality and integrity. the strength of america is deeper and more significant than her financial power.
Strength Being Strong Integrity
Walk with me, but don't follow me blindly. hold fast to the truth, not to my garments. my body is merely a clay structure; today it is here, tomorrow it shall be gone. if you attach yourself to me today, what are you going to do tomorrow when i am not with you? attach yourself to god, attach yourself to humanity, only then will you be closer to me.
Humanity Clay Gone
If someone's lying to us, then it's rare that we know that they're lying to us. it's only in bad films that you recognize immediately that an actor's playing in such a way that you can see that he's lying, and that's simply dumb. but to reach that, it requires that you make a film in such a way that a spectator feels compelled to find his own explanation. you want to lead the spectator to find his own interpretation. to ask questions rather than provide all of the answers. doing that leads to open endings and open dramaturgy.
Lying Dumb Film
The artist invites the spectator to take a journey within the realm of the canvas... without taking the journey, the spectator has really missed the essential experience of the picture.

We don't attach to people or to things; we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.

All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. everyone thinks that he or she looks but they don't really, you know.

To me documentary photography means making a picture so that the viewer doesn’t think about the man who made the picture. at its esthetic core is very old tradition in art: naturalism. and its purpose is to document all facets of social relationships.

When we are alone on a starlit night, when by chance we see the migrating birds in autumn descending on a grove of junipers to rest and eat; when we see children in a moment when they are really children, when we know love in our own hearts; or when, like the japanese poet, basho, we hear an old frog land in a quiet pond with a solitary splash - at such times the awakening, the turning inside out of all values, the "newness," the emptiness and the purity of vision that make themselves evident, all these provide a glimpse of the cosmic dance.
