Specialist note

"In photography, the unattributed, anonymous poetry of the world itself appears, probably for the first time. The beauty of photography is rooted in the great collage which everyday life is, a combination of absolutely concrete and specific things created by no-one and everyone, all of which becomes available once it is unified into a picture"

(Jeff Wall as quoted in Jeff Wall the Complete Edition, New York and London, 2009, p. 52)
