“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”
— Susan Sontag
Notes:
- memento mori: (Latin) a reminder of mortality (First Known Use: 1598) (Source: Merriam Webster)
