The task of a philosophy of photography is to reflect upon this possibility of freedom - and thus its significance - in a world dominated by apparatuses; to reflect upon the way in which, despite everything, it is possible for human beings to give significance to their lives in the face of the chance necessity of death. Such a philosophy is necessary because it is the only form of revolution left open to us.Anonymous
About This Quote
This quote by Gilles Deleuze, one of the greatest theorists of photography, opens up the possibility of revolution. Revolution is the only option available to us. We can’t go on living our lives as usual. The world around us has become too overwhelming and has taken over our lives.
It is time for us to live freely and without fear of what will happen next. The world around us is not only dominated by machines, but also by death. The death of loved ones, the death of ourselves, the death of our children, the deaths of our friends and family are all within reach.
Every single moment that we live in this world is a possibility for death. However, we can only realize this possibility when we truly live freely and with abandon. When we let life take us where it may without fear or regret.
