NGC Magazine: “What is it about photography that you find “odd”?”

Mark Ruwedel: “I’m surrounded by other kinds of artists, and they’re out there hammering and slathering stuff on surfaces, and I’m going out recording. At the most basic level, that’s what I’m doing. Everything in my pictures exists in the world. It’s a bit odd in that sense. But of course a photograph of a tree is very much not the tree. That’s the oddness. I’m interested in the difference. It’s also a problem with photography, because often people see a photograph and all they see is the tree. They don’t see it as a picture—they see it as a reference to something. Photography’s blessing and curse is that relationship to the actual world.”
