Vilem Flusser argued that "in preparing the above photo shoot", then in principle it is not the verb nor the image: to begin the task of creating photo is the care and attention in preparation of a shot.
Kubrick certainly did precisely this axiom, as in his photographs is the pursuit of perfection and the same obsessive attention to detail that became the hallmark of his work as a filmmaker.
In the photograph (as in the painting of the rest), however, the verb rather than omitted is only implied, and the size of a shot (as a painting) lies in the ability to inspire or tell a story, to speak to the viewer, the verb to see in the picture and imagine the word over the image you look.
I wonder if Stanley Kubrick had seen "Shoeshine" De Sica.
Of course we know that in Kubrick's film library devouring films of all kinds and nationalities in the period when very young, was a photographer for Look magazine .
Shoeshine (pronounced by American Italianized shoeshine ) is the 1946, won the Academy Award (a special prize which later became the Oscar for Best Foreign Film) and then had some popularity at least in environments that Kubrick film fans attended at the time.
The "Fable of a shoeshine " is 1947, and is included in this beautiful photo-exhibition of photographs "STANLEY KUBRICK PHOTOGRAPHER 1945-1950 ", in progress at the Palazzo della Ragione in Milan until July 4.
Kubrick film certainly has never been close to the Italian neo-realism, but if we wanted to attach a movie to this (photo) approach to the history Shoeshine is inevitable, especially as it served as the neo-realist cinema of actors take to the road so Mickey (the very young Shoe shine Kubrick), rather than a photographic subject "seems an actor taken up during the filming of a movie (... neorealist).
What is interesting in this exhibition - which gives us a profile of the great American novel - it is the cinematic representability of these shots, watching film and preparing to tell a story beyond the image that the great American already possessed.
The exhibition presents 200 photographs (selected from more than 12 thousand negative preserved by the Library of Congress in Washington and the Museum of the City of New York), and consists of a series of stories photographs taken between 1945 and 1950 when to only 17 years, Kubrick was hired by Look magazine .
sections that divide the exhibition, with a preview of the same are available at: http://www.mostrakubrick.it/
impossible not to think about the "Doctor Strangelove "looking at the sequence of shots that depict the life of some scholars at Columbia, the University exclusive of New York who was the research center for the development of the atomic bomb.
In 1939, just at Columbia, Niels Bohr gave a demonstration of the quality of fissile uranium-235.
The photograph of the physical dark glasses while performing an experiment and the splendid shot in front of the cyclotron physicists welcomed by 400mln Volt lead inevitably to think of the famous subtitle of the Kubrick film 1963: " How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" .
Research is often compromised and contradictory, and the look (always welcomed) observes that the physical responses of a mouse locked in a cage (with the hand of another body hanging from a sort of overlook ) care refers to the "Ludovico" of Clockwork Orange, cynicism is the same, whether it be a rat-guinea pig whatever, whether it be the worst criminal and vulgar human being who is Alex in Clockwork Orange .
And what, finally, the great shot / posters from provocative and ironic title "What every teen should know about love , which can be interpreted as the manifesto of the subsequent career as a director?
Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut reveals far-oxymoron in the title the testament of the cinema (ambiguous) of Kubrick, and seems to have been created (or at least inspired by) the image and likeness of what your shooting.
Something had already written then, indeed something had already imagined, and she photographed from the back (played then by Nicole Kidman) who writes "I hate love" with the lipstick seems to remember.
can not (and should not) explain and tell all, if you can not explain and fully understand even the contradiction inherent in their sense of being a human being.
