GUARDIANS OF MUSEUMS

 

Andy Freeberg je napravio izuzetnu seriju fotografija o ženskim čuvarima u ruskim muzejima. Akcenat je, naravno, na utisku da ovi načelno nevidljivi likovi vremenom postaju neotuđivi deo kompozicija, living & breathing nastavak priče sa platna. Meni su ta suptilna preklapanja u pozama, šarama sa pulovera gospođe čuvarke i draperije sa Matissovog platna ili izrazima lica - predivna i fascinantna. Ako se bolje zagledate, skoro na svakoj njegovoj fotografiji možete da uočite ovo prećutno pripadanje.


I found the guards as intriguing to observe as the pieces they watch over. In conversation they told me how much they like being among Russia’s great art. A woman in Moscow’s State Tretyakov Gallery Museum said she often returns there on her day off to sit in front of a painting that reminds her of her childhood home. Another guard travels three hours each way to work, since at home she would just sit on her porch and complain about her illnesses, “as old women do.”
