Roland Barthes: Photography (the photograph) captures a moment in history, keeps it current, keeps it in the now...A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see....
Photography offers an immediate presence to the world—a co-presence. The Photograph does not necessarily say what is no longer, but only and for certain what has been. Photography never lies: or rather, it can lie, as to the meaning of the thing...
Every Photograph is a certificate of presence. The photograph has no future. Not only is the Photograph never a memory, but it blocks memory, quickly becomes a counter-memory. The Photograph is violent. The Photograph cannot say what it lets us see.
