To do so, Eddie is joined by printer of Eve's work, Danny Pope, and her grandson and curator Michael Arnold. The trio discuss the impact she had on the artistic direction of their craft, what it means to create icons photographically, and the changing nature of the art today.Eve Arnold:https://www.evearnold.com/ http://dannypope.com/Support Zer0 Books and Repeater Media on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterSubscribe: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroBooks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zer0books, https://twitter.com/RepeaterBooks
di Michela Murgia e Chiara Tagliaferri, con Drusilla Foer | Questa serie e realizzata in collaborazione con Lavazza, Valentino e Veralab | Prima donna freelance della sede americana della Magnum, Eve Arnold è stata una delle fotografe più famose del Novecento: ha viaggiato in Cina, in Russia e in Europa, ha attraversato l'America, l'Asia e l'Africa. Ha ritratto le persone, famose e non, rifiutando la tecnica del fotoritocco e l'imposizione patriarcale di standard estetici irraggiungibili, rendendo umane le divinità di Hollywood e restituendo dignità agli emarginati. La sorellanza e la maternità tornano continuamente nella sua produzione, perché come raccontava lei stessa “Sono stata povera e ho voluto documentare la povertà; ho perso un figlio e sono stata ossessionata dalle nascite; mi interessava la politica e ho voluto scoprire come influiva sulle nostre vite; sono una donna e volevo sapere delle altre donne”.

In una Parigi in grande fermento, invasa da intellettuali e artisti da tutta Europa, trovare committenze è però sempre più difficile. Per cercare di allettare gli editori, è Gerta a inventarsi il personaggio di Robert Capa, un ricco e famoso fotografo americano arrivato da poco nel continente, alter ego con il quale André si identificherà per il resto della sua vita. Anche lei cambia nome e assume quello di Gerda Taro. L'anno decisivo per entrambi è il 1936: in agosto si muovono verso la Spagna, per documentare la guerra civile in corso tra i repubblicani e fascisti; il mese dopo Robert Capa realizzerà il leggendario scatto del Miliziano colpito a morte, mentre Gerda Taro scatta la sua immagine più iconica, una miliziana in addestramento, pistola puntata e scarpe con i tacchi, in un punto di vista inedito della guerra fatta e rappresentata da donne. Insieme a queste due icone, i fotografi realizzano tanti altri scatti, che testimoniano di una partecipazione intensa all'evento, sia dal punto di vista del reportage di guerra, sia da quello della vita quotidiana dei soldati, delle soldatesse e della popolazione drammaticamente vittima del conflitto. La Spagna è, infatti, in quegli anni una terra che attira molti intellettuali, scrittori e registi da tutto il mondo come Ernest Hemingway, immortalato in uno scatto di Capa, che racconterà l'esperienza della guerra civile spagnola nel suo capolavoro “Per chi suona la campana” oppure George Orwell che ne parlerà in “Omaggio alla Catalogna”. Le loro fotografie vengono pubblicate sui maggiori giornali del tempo, da “Vu” a “Regards” a “Life”, conferendo alla coppia – che spesso firma con un'unica sigla, senza distinguere l'autore o l'autrice dello scatto – una solida fama e molte richieste di lavoro. Nel corso del 1936 e del 1937 i due si spostano tra Parigi e la Spagna, documentando ad esempio gli scioperi nella capitale francese e le elezioni del 1937, conclusesi con la vittoria del raggruppamento antifascista del Fronte Popolare. Ma anche il Convegno Internazionale degli Scrittori Antifascisti a Valencia, dove Taro fotografa personaggi come André Malraux, Ilya Ehrenburg, Tristan Tzara, Anna Seghers. Proprio poco dopo la vittoria del Fronte Popolare, però, durante la battaglia di Brunete, in Spagna, il 24 luglio del 1937, Gerda Taro viene involontariamente investita da un carro armato e muore, chiudendo così tragicamente la vita della prima reporter di guerra. L'anno successivo, Robert Capa darà alla luce l'epocale volume Death in the Making, dedicato alla compagna, nel quale si trovano molte delle immagini visibili in mostra, di entrambi i fotografi. L'intensa stagione di fotografia, guerra e amore di questi due straordinari personaggi è narrata nella mostra di CAMERA - curata da Walter Guadagnini e Monica Poggi - attraverso le fotografie di Gerda Taro e quelle di Robert Capa, nonché dalla riproduzione di alcuni provini della celebre “valigia messicana”, contenente 4.500 negativi scattati in Spagna dai due protagonisti della mostra e dal loro amico e sodale David Seymour, detto “Chim”. La valigia, di cui si sono perse le tracce nel 1939 - quando Capa l'ha affidata a un amico per evitare che i materiali venissero requisiti e distrutti dalletruppe tedesche - è stata ritrovata solamente a fine anni Novanta a Mexico City, permettendo di attribuire correttamente una serie di immagini di cui fino ad allora non era chiaro l'autore o l'autrice. La mostra si apre con una sala che introduce le figure di questi straordinari autori anche grazie a due documentari, The Mexican Suitcase (2011) di Trisha Ziff e Searching for Gerda Taro (2021) di Camille Ménager, di cui sono mostrati degli estratti particolarmente utili a fornire delle lenti di lettura utilizzate anche nella scelta delle opere esposte poi nelle sale successive. Dopo le immagini realizzate da Capa a Parigi, il percorso esplora la documentazione della guerra attraverso gli spostamenti e i focus dati da Capa e Taro, concludendosi con la pagina più straziante, quella della distruzione e della morte causata dal conflitto.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

Clara Bouveresse | L'envers de l'objectif. La création de regards alternatifs depuis les années 1970 À partir des années 1970, de nombreuses femmes font de la photographie un moyen de prendre position et d'affirmer leur regard personnel, à rebours de l'objectivité et de la transparence traditionnellement associées à ce medium. Loin de faire de l'image un document prétendument neutre, elles participent à de multiples combats au moyen de leur appareil. Évitant un regard surplombant, elles revendiquent une approche subjective et incarnée. Certaines, comme Claude Batho ou Eve Arnold, s'emparent de sujets intimes, explorant l'infra ordinaire de scènes quotidiennes, en écho aux idées féministes. Les « non-sujets » que sont les tâches domestiques apparaissent dignes d'être documentés et d'entrer dans le débat public. D'autres, comme Susan Meiselas, transforment la photographie en outil de dialogue et de partage à travers des pratiques collaboratives, en donnant la parole à d'autres femmes pour contrer les stéréotypes. Cette conférence met en lumière leur travail et interroge la place des femmes dans l'histoire et les institutions photographiques. Maîtresse de conférences à l'Université d'Evry/Paris Saclay, Clara Bouveresse est notamment l'autrice d'une Histoire de l'agence Magnum. L'art d'être photographe (Ed. Flammarion 2017) et des trois volumes consacrés aux femmes photographes par la collection Photo Poche (Ed. Actes Sud). En partenariat avec La Nuit de la Photo et en collaboration avec Payot Libraire.

Eve Arnold ci lascia una grande lezione sulla fotografia. Non c'è differenza tra fotografare divi di Hollywood e fare reportage sulle zone martoriate del mondo. Tutto quanto è testimonianza, tutto quanto è fotografia.
Extrait du communiqué de presseCréée en 1982 par l'éditeur Robert Delpire, la collection “Photo Poche” compte cent cinquante-neuf titres aujourd'hui (164 numéros en octobre 2020). Si une centaine sont consacrés à des hommes, seulement une dizaine concernent des femmes, non par choix délibéré mais bien par manque de reconnaissance accordé aux femmes photographes par les institutions et le marché de la photographie.Les “grands noms” qui s'imposent au fil des expositions et des publications sont, bien majoritairement, masculins. Pourtant, dès la première heure, les femmes photographes existent et elles sont nombreuses !Conscient de ces disparités, Robert Delpire souhaitait leur consacrer un coffret de trois volumes couvrant toute l'histoire de la photographie. Sont réunies ici des autrices du monde entier. Cette pierre à l'édifice de l'histoire des femmes photographes est une contribution et non un inventaire qui se voudrait exhaustif. C'est une invitation à en découvrir toujours plus.Le choix des images témoigne enfin des goûts subjectifs de Sarah Moon et de Clara Bouveresse : ces photographies les ont étonnées, marquées, émues… Espérons qu'elles sauront toucher et éveiller la curiosité des lectrices et lecteurs férus de photographie.Parution en librairie le 7 octobre 2020, le coffret se compose de 3 volumes L'ouverture des possibles (vol. 1) n°160L'envers de l'objectif (vol. 2) n°161Les voies de la reconnaissance (vol. 3) n°162La collection Photo Poche a été publiée de 1982 à 1996 par le Centre national de la photographie avec le concours du ministère de la Culture. La collection est rachetée par Nathan en 1996 puis par Actes Sud en 2004. Robert Delpire (1926-2017), son fondateur, en a assuré la direction jusqu‘en 2017. Cet ouvrage, composé de 3 volumes, a été publié sous la direction de Sarah Moon.Préambule, introduction et biographies par Clara Bouveresse :Historienne de la photographie, Clara Bouveresse a écrit une Histoire de l'agence Magnum (Flammarion, 2017). Elle a coorganisé l'exposition “Magnum Manifesto”, présentée à l'International Center of Photography de New York (catalogue, Actes Sud/Thames&Hudson, 2017).

Eve Arnold: una donna che grazie al suo duro lavoro per la Magnum Photos e grazie alla sua empatia ci ha regalato lavori mozzafiato.Audio Editor: Mirko Ragazzoni
Hablamos con el dúo de creadores Bleda y Rosa formado por María Bleda (Castellón, 1969) y José María Rosa (Albacete, 1970), que en 2008 obtuvieron el Premio Nacional de Fotografía. Bleda y Rosa llevan 25 años trabajando sobre el paisaje, el tiempo y la memoria a través de series -"Campos de fútbol" (sobre los campos de fútbol abandonados en la periferia de las ciudades que fueron devorados por el crecimiento urbanístico) "Campos de batalla" (sobre la memoria de paisajes donde se desarrollaron decisivas batallas históricas) u otros como "Memoriales", "Prontuario"...- en las que, conjugando imágenes con textos fundamentalmente históricos, proponen un trabajo que, sobre principios del arte conceptual, indaga en el paisaje como catalizador de la memoria y el territorio. Una gran exposición itinerante, "Geografía del tiempo", recoge su trabajo desarrollado desde su irrupción en la escena a comienzos de los años 90. Asimismo, evocamos la figura de Eve Arnold (1912 - 2012), gran fotógrafa de la Agencia Magnum -fue la primera mujer en ingresar en la agencia- célebre por sus retratos de grandes actores -singularmente, de Marlene Dietrich y de Marilyn Monroe, con la que mantuvo una colaboración muy estrecha- y sus reportajes sociales en el contexto de la gran fotografía humanista.

This week, a discussion around the work and process of iconic Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama — specifically around the value of revisiting a place in order to refine your vision of it and how details often emerge through repetition. Also, how much time should you devote to your website? What are some “must have” features? Plus, do six-year-olds need to know about Daguerre? Eve Arnold is our Photographer of the Week.
