जब चीजें जैसी हैं वैसी ही हैं, तो मैं उन्हें अलग दिखाने की कोशिश क्यों करूँ?

If things are the way they are, why should I try to make them look different?

मेरी तस्वीरें हकीकत की तस्वीरें नहीं होतीं, बल्कि एक तरह की दूसरी हकीकत को दिखाती हैं—यानी तस्वीर की तस्वीर।

My images are not images of reality, but show a kind of second reality, the image of the image.

आप पूरी दुनिया को एक तस्वीर में नहीं समेट सकते। फोटोग्राफी एक भ्रम पैदा करती है। कैमरे के सामने जो कुछ है आप वह सब देख सकते हैं, लेकिन उसके आस-पास हमेशा कुछ न कुछ ऐसा होता है जो फ्रेम से बाहर होता है।

You cannot explain the whole world in one photograph. Photography pretends. You can see everything that's in front of the camera, but there's always something beside it.

मेरा मानना है कि फोटोग्राफी सिर्फ चीजों की सतह को ही कैद कर सकती है। यही बात पोर्ट्रेट पर भी लागू होती है। मैं लोगों की तस्वीरें ऐसे खींचता हूँ जैसे किसी प्लास्टर की मूर्ति की खींच रहा हूँ।

I believe that photography can only reproduce the surface of things. The same applies to a portrait. I take photographs of people the same way I would take photographs of a plaster bust.

आम तौर पर जब आप जानकारी में जानकारी जोड़ते हैं, तो आपके पास और अधिक जानकारी आ जाती है। लेकिन मेरी कला के मामले में, मैं जानकारी को नष्ट कर देता हूँ, क्योंकि लिखावट की वजह से तस्वीर प्रभावित होती है। एक तरह से, वे पूरी तरह से विशुद्ध दृश्य बन जाती हैं। मेरे लिए यह वाकई बहुत मजेदार है क्योंकि यह छवियों को देखने का एक आदर्शवादी तरीका है, जहाँ आप बस जानकारी के साथ खेलते हैं और देखते हैं कि क्या होता है।

Normally if you add information to information, you have more information. In case of my art, I destroy information, I would say, because the image is disturbed by the writings. In a way, they become pure imagery. For me it's really fun because it's an idealistic approach to images, to just play around with information and see what's happening.

तस्वीरें आज भी हमेशा एक चित्रण ही होती हैं, बस फर्क यह है कि मेरी पीढ़ी के लिए फोटोग्राफी का पैमाना शायद अब हकीकत नहीं, बल्कि उस हकीकत के बारे में हमारे अपने मन में बसी छवियां हैं।

Photographs are still always depictions, it's just that for my generation the model for the photograph is probably not reality any more, but images we have of that reality.

मैं बहुत पुराने खयालों का हूँ। मैं आज भी छवि में और उसकी चित्रात्मक खूबसूरती में यकीन रखता हूँ। ऐसा लगता है कि मैं आज भी फोटोग्राफी में किसी सच्चाई की तलाश में ही जुटा हुआ हूँ।

I'm very old fashioned. I still believe in the image and the pictorial quality of the image. It seems that I'm still busy with a truth in photography.

अगर आप उन फोटोग्राफरों को देखें जो कहते हैं, "मुझे डिजिटल फोटोग्राफी से नफरत है," तो वे सभी फोटोशॉप का इस्तेमाल करते हैं—भले ही आसमान को थोड़ा और नीला दिखाने के लिए ही क्यों न हो। यह छेड़छाड़ बहुत ही सूक्ष्म होती है और इतनी बारीक होने के कारण अब इस पर कोई ध्यान नहीं देता। मुझे लगता है कि लोग अब ऐसी बदली हुई तस्वीरों को स्वीकार करने लगे हैं।

If you look at photographers who say, "I hate digital photography," they all use Photoshop, even if it's to make the sky just a little more blue than it was. Manipulation is very discrete and because it's so discrete nobody cares about it anymore. People accept manipulated photographs, I think.

प्रेस की जानकारी गंभीर जानकारी होती है, लेकिन प्रेस की जानकारी उन लोगों द्वारा भी तोड़ी-मरोड़ी जाती है जो चाहते हैं कि आप यह समझें कि अमुक घटना घटी है। तो यह वही पुराना सच है कि आप फोटोग्राफी पर बिल्कुल भी भरोसा नहीं कर सकते या फिर आपको यह पता होना चाहिए कि उस तस्वीर को जारी कौन कर रहा है। जहाँ तक सेलफोन फोटोग्राफी की बात है, मुझे लगता है कि अब तस्वीरों की कोई परवाह नहीं करता क्योंकि लोग सिर्फ मजे के लिए इतनी सारी तस्वीरें खींच रहे हैं।

Press information is serious information, but press information is also manipulated by people who want you to think that this and that happened. So it's the old thing that you still cannot trust photography at all or you have to know who is distributing the photograph. In terms of cell phone photography, I think nobody cares about a photograph anymore because they're taking so many pictures just for fun.

मैं न जाने कब से, एक लंबे समय से, अलग-अलग वजहों से तस्वीरें जमा कर रहा हूँ। ये आपको ईबे (eBay) पर मिल जाती हैं और जब हम दुकानों में छानबीन करते थे तो हमें ऐसी तस्वीरें दिख जाती थीं जो मुझे आकर्षित करती थीं। ये सब ऐतिहासिक तस्वीरें हैं क्योंकि आज के दौर में सब कुछ डिजिटल हो चुका है। अब ऐसी तस्वीरें अस्तित्व में ही नहीं हैं।

I've been collecting photographs since I don't know when, for a long time, for different reasons. You can find them on eBay and when we were browsing through the shops there were images that attracted me. These are all historical images because these days they're all digital. They don't exist anymore.

तस्वीर की कम से कम दो प्रतियां (कॉपियाँ) होनी चाहिए, वरना वह तस्वीर नहीं है।

मुझे लगता है कि तस्वीर के आगे और पीछे जानकारी होना एक अराजक विचार है। आम तौर पर जब आप जानकारी में जानकारी जोड़ते हैं, तो आपके पास अधिक जानकारी आ जाती है।

I think it is an anarchistic idea to have information on the front and the back. Normally if you add information to information, you have more information.
