The Shape of Time

"I think of something. But whenever I truly think about something, I’m actually thinking about something else. Always! It’s only possible to think about something if one is thinking about something else. For example: I see a landscape that is new to me — but it’s only new because I compare it, in my mind, with another landscape, an older one, one I once knew."

Jean-Luc Godard, 2001, film Éloge de l'amour.

"An image has no other function than to evoke another in the mind."

Meaning expressed by Bruce Nauman when quoting Luigi Ghirri in: Bas Pricen, Stefano Graziani, Victoria Adona, 2024, Le vies des documents – La photographie em tant que projet, CCA, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König, p.111.
