« Once we have discovered what the depicted object is, however, the photograph is instantly transformed for us – no longer a confusing conglomerate of light and dark tones, of uncertain edges and ambivalent volumes, it now shows a ‘thing’ which we invest with a full identity, a being. (…) – the wholeness, coherence, identity, which we attribute to the depicted scene is a projection, a refusal of an impoverished reality in favor of an imaginary plenitude. »  Victor Burgin
