Written on the back of this work is: “Beyond the fundamental hypocrisy of photographic production that feeds on human misery with the pretence of disseminating information or raising awareness, the proliferation of compassionate iconography neutralizes discernment, tames brutal instincts, and induces the risk of safe intimacy and deceit under the autocratic reign of appearance.

I choose to adopt hacker strategies, forging a secret, illicit, immoral language, deconstructing protocols built by the hegemonic ideology with the explicit intention of contaminating, perverting and destroying it. The act of photographing accepts no compromise: it involves pushing the physical limits of life and possessing the world through absorption and adsorption.

Photography is a source of disorder because it carries within itself the seeds of action, unleashing the rage that makes bearable fear and desire. To be, to love, to think, to suffer are no longer enough. One has to be a saint, or a mad man.” — Antoine d’Agata
