Alison Jackson Quotes

I don’t really like using ridicule as a form of humor Picture Quote #1

Of course, my own political beliefs inform the ideas I come up with Picture Quote #1

I am fascinated by the Royal Family because they are shrouded in mystique, and the Queen, and to a certain extent William, represent fabulous blank canvases. I find the Prince of Wales less fascinating because he spills the beans and we know too much about him Picture Quote #1

A lot of people who look at my photographs think it is an easy joke, but it does take a bit of thinking about Picture Quote #1

I’m not satirical in a traditional way. What I do is more about creating caricatures and cartoons. I am commentating on the nature of how we live through photography, and how you can twist an angle to create a different perception of a person Picture Quote #1

I had a very outdoorsy childhood. I was athletic and used to ride and do dressage. I could ride almost before I could walk. There is a picture of me at 18 months old sitting happily on the back of a donkey Picture Quote #1

I’m really interested in how we view the public figure, what makes a public figure, what makes a celebrity, and how images make politicians, so I take an interest in politics, but it’s really an interest in the image Picture Quote #1

I suppose we carry photographs now, but I think it’s rather wonderful that people used to carry drawings and watercolours. I wish people did that more often Picture Quote #1

I can’t remember exactly how old I was when my parents gave me my first camera, but it was a Canon, and I was certainly far too young to have such a good camera Picture Quote #1

Warhol was the ultimate voyeur, constantly observing people through the lens. He watched and listened, but did not participate. Behind the camera, Warhol was in control Picture Quote #1

I think privacy is important, and it’s important you don’t bore people with your own boring self Picture Quote #1

Photography can be a deceitful, superficial medium that leads us into believing something even though we know it’s not necessarily true. It lulls us into a false sense of complacency Picture Quote #1

Among other things, I use a Samsung mobile phone, a very bad quality video camera, and an old Olympus with extremely bad Sigma lenses Picture Quote #1

I’m a contemporary artist and I show in art galleries and museums. I show a number of photographs and films, but I also make television programs, books and some appetizing, all with the same concept Picture Quote #1

Celebrities do look different in real life from our images of them - there is a big gap. And that is what my work is about: the gap between the image and the celebrity themselves Picture Quote #1

Art work is inconclusive. It opens your mind up. At least, that’s what I hope it does. And advertising, using exactly the same photograph, closes things down. It makes it conclusive. It sells a product, and that is its primary function Picture Quote #1

You can watch a little bit of war from your nice living room - 30 seconds of what’s going on in Syria - and when you’ve had enough, switch over to some celebrity programme. We live our life through screens and images in this way, and we don’t know what is real or fake anymore. It doesn’t matter Picture Quote #1

The religious imagery and fairytales that formed our shared cultural references have been replaced by the cult of celebrity. Marilyn is the sex goddess, Camilla Parker Bowles is cast as the wicked witch, Che Guevara is the revolutionary. Celebrities have become visual shorthand for narratives that shape our lives Picture Quote #1

A lot of people who look at my photographs think it is an easy joke, but it does take a bit of thinking about Picture Quote #1

Photography can be a deceitful, superficial medium that leads us into believing something even though we know it’s not necessarily true. It lulls us into a false sense of complacency Picture Quote #1

I’d like to take more pictures of real celebrities. It would be fabulous to photograph Brad Pitt. He’s so good-looking and just such a star Picture Quote #1

I’m not really interested in the celebrity themselves. I’m interested in the perception of the celebrity Picture Quote #1

I can’t remember exactly how old I was when my parents gave me my first camera, but it was a Canon, and I was certainly far too young to have such a good camera Picture Quote #1

Photography seduces us into thinking we can believe photographs, whereas we can’t really believe that a picture can tell us any kind of truth at all Picture Quote #1

Photography acts as a teaser, suggesting we can know something that we can never know. And the more we can’t obtain it, the more we want it Picture Quote #1

If you see everything through the lens, you are constantly composing pictures. I think in pictures; I don’t think in text Picture Quote #1

When Princess Diana died, I couldn’t understand why people were mourning her death in such an enormous, hysterical way when they didn’t actually know her for real Picture Quote #1
