Contacts - Duane Michals

Synopsis

Duane Michals in his own words: "The best part of us is not what we see, it's what we feel. People believe their eyeballs and they're totally wrong... That's why I consider most photographs extremely boring."
Duane Michals in his own words: "The best part of us is not what we see, it's what we feel. We're not our eyeballs, we're our mind. People believe their eyeballs and they're totally wrong... That's why I consider most photographs extremely boring." Or again: "I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers of magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph." And on his own work: "The only thing I know is my own experience ... So I have to define my work in terms of my own truth."
