GUEORGUI PINKHASSOV Born in 1952 in Moscow, he divides his life/work between Russia and France. He became interested in photography while still in high school, and he studied cinema at the VGIK (Moscow Cinematographic Institute) from 1969 to 1971. From 1971 to 1980 he worked as a cameraman for the Mosfilm studios, and then as a stills photographer for the same studios. He was noticed by Andrei Tarkovski, whose films influenced him profoundly, and was invited to work on the set of Stalker. In 1978, Gueorgui Pinkhassov became a member of the Moscow Union of Graphic Arts, and began to participate in exhibitions. He also began to work intensively for the press, covering major contemporary events: Lithuania, the earthquake in Armenia, the attempted coup in Moscow, as well as events in Mongolia, Indonesia, Africa, etc. His reporages were commissioned by the New York Times Magazine, GEO, Independent, Figaro Magazine and others, permitting him to develop a view of the world which was not just limited to important events. In fact, his personal sensibility leads him to execute his photojournalism with a linguistic innovation which brings new energy to the creative spirit that has distinguished Magnum from its very beginnings. Gueorgui Pinkhassov participates in cultural programmes organised by the City of Paris, the French Ministry of Culture and various publishers. He also takes part in collective projects conceived by Magnum. His work has appeared in both group and one-man shows, such as Our Turning World and Magnum. His most recent book, Sightwalk (25 photographs of Tokyo) was published by Phaidon in 1988. .

Gueorgui Pinkhassov È Nato Nel 1952 a Mosca. La Passione Per La
Gueorgui Pinkhassov è nato nel 1952 a Mosca. La passione per la fotografia nasce nell’età adolescenziale e infatti, Gueorgui si iscrive all’università di cinematografia di Mosca (VGIK). Tornato dal servizio militare di leva, inizia a lavorare come fotografo presso lo studio cinematografico "Mosfilm" dove conosce un personaggio molto importante per il suo destino, cioè Andrei Tarkovsky. Nel 1978 Pinkhassov diventa un membro dell'Unione degli Artisti. Qui vengono esposti i suoi primi lavori creativi nel genere vita quotidiana e ritratto. Molto presto Pinkhassov riesce ad ottenere lo status di artista indipendente. Questo gli ha dato l’opportunità di viaggiare e mostrare il proprio lavoro non solo in Unione Sovietica, ma anche al di fuori del paese. Nel frattempo, grazie agli amici, alcune foto scattate da Gueorgui arrivano dal famoso regista, a quel punto Tarkovsky lo invita a collaborare e a documentare il processo creativo sul film “Stalker” nel 1979. A quel punto nasce una bella collaborazione tra i due, dove Tarkovsky è sicuramente stato un punto di riferimento e una specie di guru per Gueorgui; nonostante ami i lavori, porta spesso come esempio le opere di Henri Cartier-Brisson. Questo spinge il giovane fotografo verso un altro genere di fotografia, cioè verso reportage, ed inizia a sperimentare uno stile nuovo e catturare la vita di estranei attraverso un’invasione “moderata”. E come a Cartier-Brisson, che qualche anno dopo avrà la fortuna di conosce, non gli interessa la fotografia “costruita” o messa in scena. Pinkhassov in un’intervista ha ringraziato Tarkovsky per avergli fatto vedere il mondo con gli occhi diversi e per aver imparato da lui, forse la cosa più importante, - umiltà.

This global conflict is being shown both within its Bruges context as well as its interna- tional framework, from both historical and artistic perspectives. On the ground floor Sophie De Schaepdrijver presents a historical exhibition on the little- known story of an occupied city made to serve as a base for the war at sea. The exhibition 2 offers us a fascinating glimpse into life in oc- cupied Bruges against the backdrop of global war. On the first floor, there are two photography exhibitions: MAGNUM photographer Carl De Keyzer offers a contemporary approach to historical First World War photography. In collaboration with David Van Reybrouck, he selected historical photographic materials MAGNUM photographers. All of them live in from international collections.
