JOSEF KOUDELKA EXILES (NEW ED) /ANGLAIS

Résumé :

About Exiles, Cnrnell Capa once wrote, 'Koudelka's unsentimental, stark, hrooding, intensely human imagery retlects his own spirit, the very essence of an exile who is at home wherever his wandering body tinds haven in the night...' In this revised and expanded édition of the 1988 classic, which includes new images, Josef Koudelka's work once more f wms a powerfu1 document of the spiritual and physical state of exile.
Most of the images were taken in Europe during Kondelka's own twenty-year exile from his native Czechoslovakia, shirting in 1970, after having left in the wake of photographing the Soviet-led invasion of Prague. The senne oi private mystery that tilts these photographs speaks of passion and réserve, of his rage tn sec. Solita y, moving, dceply b lt and strangely disturhing, the images in Exiles suggest alienation, disconnection and love.
Exiles evokes nome of the mort compelling and trouhling themes of the twentieth century, still resonating with equal force during this time of migrations and profound transience.
