"arbus’s interest in blindness was part of a more general fascination with what could not be seen in photographs. shortly before her death, arbus explained to [her] students that, having been ‘hipped on clarity’, she had come to relize ‘how i really love what you can’t see in a photograph. an actual physical darkness and it’s very thrilling for me to see darkness again’."
