Light is inherent to a photograph as it develops the picture. Light forces out shadows. But a photograph is more just as black is not always in shadow. Text: Václav Kopecký   “ ... the shape of a human body is not intrinsic to a marble boulder. Michelangelo committed violence on marble by chiselling David out of it as he disfigured a piece of beautiful stone. Marble did not become marble - but David.  (…)  Marble needs to be used for creation of such shapes that would arise from its own body and a chiselled cube or another shape is more valuable than a David. The same also applies to painting, words, music.”
 Kazmir Malevič, (Suprematic Mirror), Prague 1997, p. 22
