“Since it is sure of its ability to control the entire domain of the visible and the audible via the laws governing commercial circulation and democratic communication, Empire no longer censures anything.

“The worst thing is to feel that as a photographer I’m benefiting from someone else’s tragedy. This idea haunts me.”
