Absence Quote by Vito Acconci
“Yes, the fear of its blankness. At the same time, I kind of loved it. Mallarmé was trying to make the page a blank page. But if you're going to make the page a blank page, it's not just the absence of something, it has to become something else. It has to be material, it has to be this thing. I wanted to turn a page into a thing.”
![“[Photography was necessary to] make my place in the art-world: in order to do this, I had to make a picture, since a picture was what a gallery or museum was meant to hold (all the while, of course, I was claiming that I was denying the standard, rejecting it...)” quote by Vito Acconci](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ee2/vito-acconci-13895_art_photography-was-necessary-to-make-my-pla_205941.jpg)
