Andrey A. Tarkovsky Instant Light: Tarkovsky Polaroids Издательство: Thames&Hudson Жанр: Thames and Hudson Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 136 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub A beautiful, elegiac collection of sixty polaroid photographs by the late, great Soviet film director, Andrei Tarkovsky Composed of sixty luminous polaroids taken by Andrey Tarkovsky in Russia and Italy between 1979 and 1984, this beautifully produced series of cameos from the director’s life reveals him to be a master of the still as much as of the moving image. The photos in the first section, taken in Russia, have the radiant melancholy of lengthening shadows and trees looming through misty dawns near Tarkovsky’s country dacha, together with portraits of his wife, son and dog, loaded with nostalgia by quotations from his later diaries. Those taken in Italy portray exquisite still lifes and glimmering ruins. The book concludes with photographs from Tarkovsky’s personal collection. Tarkovsky is here revealed as realizing the utmost potential of a fleeting, disposable medium: his images seem to capture eternity in a moment.
