“I was doing very badly in school, and I just couldn’t remember what the teachers were talking about. I felt like it looked easier for everyone else and it was harder for me. It affected my self-worth.”

“Like, when I saw Dumbo and The Elephant Man — I felt like those films were smashing down some wall inside of me and creating a room called empathy. And being very grateful for having seen those films even though they were painful, and the idea of watching them again was scary, because I didn’t know that I wanted to feel those things again, but it did feel different after seeing them. Like they had exposed some part of myself to me that I didn’t know was there.”

He dreaded the eighth day.

Carlos Duque - The Golden Shadow

“Standing with a camera in front of paintings at the Louvre in Paris and the MET in New York, photographer Carlos Duque directs eyes, not at painting itself, but at the frame edges encapsulating each masterpiece. Luminous margins, sparkling shadows, subordinate shimmers encompass the creative anonymity of each classic artwork.”
