Our language is never simply just ours.   

For something singular to emerge, it can only emerge by passing through what one inherits. As photographers, we borrow, cite, and improvise  on  the language of the previous photographers. Photography itself is a mode of citation and we  try to make a difference whilst using a visual language that does not simply belong to us. It simultaneously reproduces and alters what it cites.

The meaning of the image is unfolded through reading as we put one image  in relation to another one, which means that the meaning of a passage doesn’t inhere in the passage alone. This implies that interpreting  involves a labor of reading--we need to learn to  read images  syntactically in relation to one another.
