People Quotes by Vik Muniz

I don’t want to fool people. If I wanted to do that, I would be working with virtual reality. I want to operate on the other level, the other end of the illusion spectrum. I want to create the worst possible illusions so it doesn’t really fool people, but instead give people a measure of their own belief. It makes them aware of how much they need to be fooled in order to understand the world around them.

I think I’m an ambitious artist but you have to understand the measure of your influence on people. You’re not going to change people’s lives with your art. What you do is you give them a little pat so that you change the course of the direction that they’re going.

Illusions as bad as mine make people aware of the fallacies of visual information and the pleasure to be derived from such fallacies.

In the back of every painting there’s an entire universe that makes it possible for the painting to be there: an army of conservators, technicians, people who maintain these things, the market.

We need saints; we need this head – this talking head – to communicate. Every single religion you have people that go in-between, that can talk to god or communicate ideas. Then there are the talking heads in the news every time we watch TV. No matter how complex, you still need a person there to tell you what happened: a storyteller of sorts. I find that fascinating that we feel so attached to this primitive mode of connection, this primitive interface to the world.
