Catalogue Note
"Photography has been the instrument of Rauschenberg's sensibility for some time now, the means by which he designates fragments of the material world as surrogates for himself, the means by which he organizes the 'narrative' of this journey through the world. With the camera as impersonal agent of the artist's sensibility, the artist's 'eye' gains authority over the world. The camera is the instrument of light and memory; its mechanism instantly and efficiently memorizes a multitude of images, creating databanks of ready-made repeatable, manipulable, mutable images."
