Best 5 quotes of Douglas Huebler on MyQuotes

Every photograph is a realization of one of the possibilities contained within the program of the camera. The number of such possibilities is large, but it is nevertheless finite. It is the sum of all those photographs that can be taken by a camera.

I use the camera as a dumb copying device that only serves to document whatever phenomenon appears before it through the conditions set by a system. No esthetic choices are possible. Other people often make the photographs. It makes no difference.

I've spoken seriously, and I am very serious, but you know an awful lot of the work is meant to twist things to the point of almost absurdity. I don't want to celebrate absurdity, but I do mean to challenge a lot of premises.

The act of photography is that of phenomenological doubt to the extent that it attempts to approach phenomena from any number of viewpoints.

What has interested me all along is not the pronouncement of meaning but pointing toward the way meaning is formed.
