简介

本书从寇德卡五十余年间记录的六十九本日记中精选编纂而成，为读者打开了一扇窥见这位传奇捷克摄影师内心世界与艺术创作过程的罕见窗口。寇德卡以记录罗姆人社区生活、1968年布拉格之春事件以及人类对景观的破坏性影响等标志性项目而闻名。书中收录了日记原页的复制品，以及摄影师本人的影像作品（包括自拍像），赋予本书一种即时性与真实感。正如策展人Tomá? Pospěch所写：“寇德卡的日记堪称经典摄影的‘食谱’。他与最负盛名的摄影师交往，笔记中总结了他丰富的经验，包括与如今已消失的黑白模拟摄影技术相关的记忆。他的评论、趣闻和故事不断重现，如同他反复下定的决心、确认的规则，以及对过往事件与梦境的追忆。”本书是2023年由Melissa Harris撰写的视觉传记《Josef Koudelka: Next》的完美伴侣。

A rare glimpse into the mind and artistic process of one of the world's greatest photographers. Distilled from sixty-nine journals kept over the course of fifty-plus years, Josef Koudelka: Diaries offers a look inside the mind and artistic process of the iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for a life in exile and legendary projects on the Roma, the 1968 Soviet-led invasion in Prague, and the devastating impact humans have on the landscape. Facsimile pages from the diaries, along with images by the photographer, including self-portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. As curator Tomá? Pospěch writes, "Koudelka's diaries are a 'cookbook' of classic photography. He associated with the most renowned photographers. His notes sum up his rich experience, including with the now-vanishing technology of analog black-and-white photography. His remarks, quips, and stories reappear, just as he repeatedly made resolutions, affirmed the rules he had adopted, and recalled earlier events and dreams." Diaries is a perfect companion to Josef Koudelka: Next (2023), the visual biography by Melissa Harris.
