"Studying life through a camera’s lens turns us into detached observers
reluctant to tear ourselves away from the role of clinical voyeur to
take action against the very inhumanity we witness and record." New York Times
I take this to mean that because we surround ourselves with mere copies of life, the real thing, we are reluctant to act on the emotions drawn from those copies and lack the strength to change what we wish to see changed in life.
The quote comes from an interesting article on the film "Passio" which is debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
