Dopo un viaggio a Chernobyl nel 2005, Donald Weber è presto ritornato al sito abbandonato del disastro nucleare, trascorrendo i successivi sei anni in Russia e Ucraina a fotografare le rovine della tempesta inarrestabile che noi chiamiamo Storia. Interrogations è il risultato della sua personale ricerca per scoprire il significato nascosto del sanguinoso XX secolo. In dialogo con lo scrittore Larry Frolick - i cui antenati furono decimati durante gli ultimi mesi della seconda guerra mondiale - Weber  rivolge provocatoriamente le sue domande sia ai superstiti che ai fantasmi delle innumerevoli vittime dello Stato, riesumando le loro ultime ore e prendendone il punto di vista, in un'incantata meditazione sul loro incontro personale col Potere. Vincitore del World Press Photo 2012 nella categoria Ritratti.Da Parr & Badger, "The Photobook: A History" Vol. III: "Derivante da un progetto a lungo termine in Ucraina in seguito all'indipendenza, il libro mostra persone interrogate dalla polizia ucraina e sottoposte ad abusi psicologici e fisici. Alcuni si fanno piccoli di fronte ai loro inquisitori, la cui presenza è generalmente implicita. Ma in un'unica immagine una mano è immortalata nell'atto di schiaffeggiare un prigioniero, e in due scatti una pistola viene premuta sulla testa di un detenuto a fini intimidatori. Le immagini, ritratti a media distanza dei sospetti in una squallida stanza, potrebbero portare a sospettare che queste siano staged photographs, ma non è affatto questo il caso [.] Lo sguardo di Weber, chiaro ed inflessibile nella sua sobria immediatezza, rende immagini che sono efficaci e allo stesso tempo sconcertanti da guardare. Senza dubbio l'intenzione del fotografo è farci sentire quasi complici degli abusi. Il libro conferma certamente il fatto che le tracce del vecchio sistema totalitario di potere dell'ex Unione Sovietica sono ancora ben presenti: perché non dovrebbero? E si pone anche un'ulteriore, inquietante domanda: questo tipo di comportamento è una norma per le "forze di sicurezza"? E dove altro, anche in Europa, potremmo aspettarci di essere interrogati in questo modo brutale? Viene il sospetto che la risposta potrebbe essere ancora più scomoda della domanda. Book.…

Condition: Wie neu. Schilt Publishing, Amsterdam. 2011. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread. Winner of the World press Photo 2012 in the category "Portraits, series"! Paperback in cardboard slipcase. 180 x 240 mm. 160 pages. Text: Larry Frolick. Language: english. Perfect condition! Collector`s copy! After a lone trip to Chernobyl in 2005, Donald Weber soon returned to the abandoned site of the nuclear disaster and spent the next six years in Russia and Ukraine photographing the ruins of the unstoppable storm we call history. Interrogations is the result of his personal quest to uncover the hidden meaning of the bloody 20th Century. Travelling and living with ordinary people who had endured much, and survived everything, Weber began to see the modern State as a primitive and bloody sacrificial rite of unnamed Power. In dialogue with writer Larry Frolick - whose own ancestors had been decimated in the final months of WW II, Weber insistently and provocatively addresses his questions both to the living survivors and to the ghosts of the State`s innumerable victims, resurrecting their final hours by taking their point of view, and performing a kind of incantatory meditation over their private encounters with Power. The policemen, working girls, thugs, dissidents and hustlers who inhabit these pages are all orphans of a secret History; the outline of our collective fate takes shape in Weber`s epic work, expanding our awareness of what it means to be an actor in today`s dark opera. A regular contributor to the literary quarterly, Descant, Larry travels yearly to Asia, the Middle East, and the Arctic from his family home in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada. His personal interests include collecting vintage audio equipment from the 1970s, hard bebop, cycling, and the war poetry of the Great War. Donald Weber originally worked as an architect in Rotterdam with urban theorist Rem Koolhaas, Office for Metropolitan Architecture. He freelanced for many publications in Canada and abroad before devoting his artistic career to an epic study of how Power deploys an all-encompassing theatre, implicating everyone in its secret collaboration with both masters and victims. His projects include "The Underclass and Its Bosses: Crime & Punishment in Ukraine", which won the Lange- Taylor Documentary Prize; "Bastard Eden, Our Chernobyl", which won the Photolucida Book Award; "The Drunken Bride, Russia Unveiled", which won a Guggenheim Fellowship; "Cities Under Siege", which won a Canada Council Fellowship. He is represented by the photo agency VII. Larry Frolick is an award-winning author and social critic with a special interest in post-modern global culture. His published works include four non-fiction books and scores of journal essays and magazine articles based on deep field research, on diverse subjects. Among his numerous awards are four National Magazine Awards (Canada); the 2006 Alexander Ross Award for Canada`s Best New Magazine Journalist; and the 2006 Lange-Taylor Prize (USA) for a long-term collaboration with Weber on a documentary project, "The Human is an Atom that Won`t Be Split", about the post-Soviet experience of Ukraine`s underclass. Larry is currently completing three new books, including "Melt Down", another documentary collaboration with photographer Don Weber on life with nuclear decay in four international societies.***************Schilt Publishing, Amsterdam. 2011.
