control is insufficient when sensitive to distortion

by Andréa Nieto + Emilianna Vazquez

notes

 

 

Obsession to control

Obsession to make permanent

 

necessity to see things we already know exist and run into when seemingly “right” or almost “fair” 

 

absence in photographs 

Like when you rip one in half, guilty 

 

and that’s the only way we can make sense of it more, like when we make things or dream 

 

Even if permanence is only for a little while
