你在开玩笑吗?
《你在开玩笑吗?》像一篇古老的寓言:蛆羡慕苍蝇,因为苍蝇拥有翅膀;而苍蝇羡慕老鹰,因为老鹰可以翱翔于高高的天际;老鹰则羡慕作宠物的小狗,因为小狗有主人爱它、亲它、抱它;可小狗并不领情,它却羡慕自由自在蹦蹦跳跳的兔子……就这么一路象叠罗汉一样的羡慕下去,最后处在宝塔尖上的是死神,因为死神拥有剥夺一切生命的力量,然而,死神羡慕的,却是能拥有鲜活而平凡的生命,哪怕做一只微不足道的蛆,也比死亡好上千百倍。 -

Brassai, Paris
Leichte Mädchen und schwere Jungs in Brassais Paris. "Brassai ist ein wandelndes Auge", schrieb Henry Miller über den aus Ungarn stammenden Künstler, der nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg Paris zu seiner Wahlheimat erkor und zu einem der gefeiertsten Fotografen dieser Stadt wurde. Brassai (1899-1984), der als Maler begann, bevor er sich der Schriftstellerei, Bildhauerei, dem Kino und vor allem der Fotografie widmete, für die er berühmt wurde, gehörte der Pariser Kulturelite an und zählte Miller, Picasso, Sartre, amus und Cocteau zu seinen Freunden. Mit der Kamera in der Hand durchstreifte er die Straßen und Bars von Paris und portraitierte die Bewohner der Stadt ungeschminkt in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung. Prostituierte, Gauner und andere "Randerscheinungen" waren die berühmtesten Helden seiner stimmungsvollen Fotografien, die häufig bei Nacht entstanden. Neben einer umfangreichen Auswahl aus Brassais besten Fotografien und einem Essay, der Leben und Werk des Künstlers beschreibt, erkundet dieser Band Brassais Welt in thematischen Kapiteln: die Zeitschrift Minotaure, Paris bei Nacht, Das geheime Paris, Bei Tageslicht, Begegnungen mit Künstlern und Graffiti und Verwandlungen. -
