Georgian Spring

Thomas Dworzak

"The President was very relaxed with me, and went the extra length to take me places where other presidents would not take their photographers: into closed meetings, to lunches and dinners, behind the scenes at the UN..."

-Thomas Dworzak

Great work. Georgia is an amazing cluster of cultures, religions, fascinating landscapes and ancient history.

Si ha l'impressione che la fotografia, da sola, non basti più ad afferrare la storia. Ormai la distruzione di ciò che resta del mondo antico, ossia del mondo reale, è in atto dappertutto: non dimentichiamo le responsabilità umane, morali, politiche che gravano su questo personaggio dall'aria molto rilassata, legate all'8 agosto 2008. Come porre uno sguardo reale sull'irreale mondo post-istorico? Arduo compito: "Ma io, con il cuore cosciente di chi soltanto nella storia ha vita, / potrò mai più con pura passione operare, / se so che la nostra storia è finita?" (Pier Paolo Pasolini)

After watching this piece it seems like Magnum has turned tabloid.

Interesting choice. Given the photographer's well advertised love of this republic it is perhaps above all a love for its head of state? Reminiscent of Soviet-style propaganda -- no matter how much Mr. Saakashvilli intones his democratic governance. Or did I get it all wrong and this is really a political satire designed to make the president look foolish?
