"Photographic portraits offer the double possibility of recognising and denying oneself, of finding oneself "in front of another" and it's exactly this "other" that views us, that photography leads to the eye of the beholder: it is as if a window were suddenly opened and immediately closed in our profound nature of "object" that we have within ourselves".
