What I wrote

Text by Duane Michals.
Duane Michals is not only a photographer, but an extremely talented writer as well. So in addition to a selection of his photographs, this book also includes some of his poems and aphorisms.

Above and beyond a tendency towards being derisive, which is a constant, his writing deals with fate, the mysteries of everyday life, desire and death. The whole is sometimes shaded with surprising mysticism. The texts presented here highlight the interpenetration of two means of expression: one belonging to a prodigiously inventive nature, the other to a moralist, whose zaniness only makes him all the more lucid.
