Short excerpt from a YouTube interview (Chris Collins with Reto Sterchi) in which Sterchi reflects on photographs he admired when he was 18–19. He describes the images as emotionally immediate—"frozen music"—that hit the viewer without intellectualizing, distinguishing photographers who provoke direct feeling from those who do not.
How would you describe. When you're, like, 18 or 19? How would you describe this book and the photography then versus now and what you know now?
The photos were just different. His photos.
Different how? It was like.
It'S music, but still.
It was like frozen music.
It's music.
But still. It just. It's. You just look at it and you feel something. And it's not really an intellectual feeling. It's sore. It's. It's like, you don't need to think about it. It just hits you. And that's. I love that there's photographers who have that, and then there's photographers who don't. Like, this was always one of my favorites.
That's just great. It's just he broke, like, all the rules, and I always love artists who break all the rules.
