We think of our art as just pictures, not as photographs. We are using photography, not being photographers. - Gilbert & George

It is important to us to publish our art in books and catalogues, so as many people as possible are able to see it, but we also want them to see the real pieces. We like it very much when the pictures take over. When they’re bigger than the viewer. You go to a museum to look at a picture, but we like it when the picture looks at you.

If you are submerged in normal life, then your view will be normal. So we have to keep separate from normal life in order to be able to say something that is not known. People come to art for something that they don’t understand, that’s not in their life already.

We want our Art to bring out the from inside the Liberal and conversely to bring out the Liberal from inside the Bigot.
