Da un “antro” scuro dove la penombra e stesso tempo di regole e di istinto, in cui il soggetto il suono reiterato del mare introducono alle visioni di Gaza rimane comunque sempre l’essere umano, le sue relazioni e Guantanamo, si accede in uno spazio in cui domina con i luoghi, gli avvenimenti, gli altri esseri. il colore nero. Dalle gigantografie di tre prigionieri dell’Isis in attesa di essere processati, alla battaglia di Mosul, metafora di tutti i conflitti: nella prima parte dell’esposizione si dispiega senza soluzione di continuità un racconto Paolo Pellegrin.

I tratti Walker Evans e Lee Friedlander — è una manifestazione somiglianti di un dolore, dovuto alla violenza di altri esseri dell’interpretazione personale, che si alimenta di estetica umani e ai suoi effetti perduranti nel tempo, che la e di espressività, di angoscia e di sofferenza.

Le fotografie sono frammenti di una scrittura per immagini e riflettono un tempo storico, basato sulle fisionomie, singole e collettive, delle persone che vivono una tragedia. Esse diventano anche una storia privata di Pellegrin che sente la necessità di condividere, con la sua presenza e la sua testimonianza, la responsabilità della nostra cultura verso questi eventi drammatici. Non ha intenzione di farsi risucchiare dalle immagini e dalla loro casualità per mantenerne un controllo, perché intende esplorare i limiti e i confini dell’umanità. Ogni suo reportage tende a far emergere, all’interno di un paese, Uganda, Cambogia, Haiti, Kosovo, Libano e Iran, le elaborazioni su come gli esseri umani configurano una risposta agli eventi come le guerre e i massacri.

  • Steve Mccurry ’74
    Steve McCurry ’74 Steve McCurry is quite simply one of the finest, most highly regarded photographers in the world. He graduated from the College of Arts and Architecture with a B.A. cum laude in cinematography, whereupon he joined a newspaper. After two years he set out for India to freelance and begin his career in earnest. Spending the majority of his time in Southeast Asia, McCurry supported himself through his freelance work for a number of years. However, it was his photographs of rebel-controlled Afghanistan just before the Russian invasion in the 1980s that brought him to world attention. Disguised in native garb and pretending to be mute, McCurry crossed the Pakistan border into Afghanistan to emerge into safety later with rolls of film sewn into his clothes—film that, because it contained compelling images that were among the first of the conflict, was quickly published worldwide. His coverage won the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad—an award dedicated to photographers exhibiting exceptional courage and enterprise. Since then, McCurry has covered many areas of international and civil conflict, including Beirut, Cambodia, the Philippines, the Gulf War, the Iran-Iraq war, and the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia. McCurry’s images of the devastation of the World Trade Center in 2001 are considered standouts in the documentation of that attack. Says McCurry, “Most of my photos are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person—a person caught in a broader landscape that I guess you’d call the human condition.” Throughout his career he has put himself at risk to record images of every major conflict of the last twenty years: he has been arrested and chained in Pakistan, survived a plane crash in Yugoslavia, was beaten and nearly drowned in India by crowds at a religious festival, and was nearly killed by a Mujahadeen faction.

  • Winners of the Overseas Press Club Awards
    2010 dateline SPECIAL EDITION CARACAS, VENEZUELA WINNERS OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS dateline 2010 1 LETTERFROM THE PRESIDENT t the Overseas Press Club of America, we are marching through our 71st year insisting that fact-based, hard-news reporting from abroad is more important than ever. As we salute the winners of our 20 awards, I am proud to say their work is a tribute to the public’s right to know. As new forms of communication erupt, the incessant drumbeat of the A24-hour news cycle threatens to overwhelm the public desire for information by swamping readers and viewers with instant mediocrity. Our brave winners – and IS PROUD the news organizations that support them – reject the temptation to oversimplify, trivialize and then abandon important events as old news. For them, and for the OPC, the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, the shifting fronts in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, the drug wars of Mexico and genocides and commodity grabs in Africa need to be covered thoroughly and with integrity. TO SUPPORT The OPC believes quality journalism will create its own market. In spite of the decimation of the traditional news business, worthwhile journalism can and will survive. Creators of real news will get paid a living wage and the young who desire to quest for the truth will still find journalism viable as a proud profession and a civic good. We back that belief with our OPC Foundation, which awards 12 scholarships a year to deserving students who express their desire to become foreign correspondents while submitting essays on international subjects.
