Specialist note

"In a luminescent picture the source of the image is hidden. The site from which the image originates is always elsewhere. To me, this experience of two places, two worlds, in one moment is a central form of the experience of modernity. Its an experience of dissociation, of alienation."

(Jeff Wall as quoted in: Jeff Wall, exh. cat., 2007, p. 24)
