Europe weighted down so much with that past, was The Dead. I was always Tourist there; I couldn't live in it. The graveyard [Pere-Lachaise] could stand for all my view of Europe, for all the concerns with past art, for involvement with symbol. The Dead became my first work in which things that might very easily be taken as symbols were so photographed as to destroy all their symbolic potential.--S.B.
