Elijah Wood meets the Italian voice of his dubbed films wocomoCULTURE 2024-08-31 | Dubbing in Italy is a challenging profession. Despite its popularity, job security for dubbers in the industry is uncertain. However, this uncertainty doesn't dampen their spirits as they are driven by passion for their craft.

Today, the Italians are world renown for their mastery of the art of dubbing, but the voice actors that lend their talent to Hollywood's biggest stars remain largely behind the scenes.IT'S BETTER IN ITALIAN follows three dubbers at different stages of their careers: Roberto Pedicini, a juggernaut talent among the doppiatori and the voice of Kevin Spacey, Javier Bardem, Jim Carrey, and many more; Davide Perino, a 4th generation dubber who has dubbed Elijah Wood since they were both 10-years-old; and Ugo De Cesare, a student of Roberto's who hopes to break into the notoriously difficult industry.

Over 40 million visitors from around the world have already explored the "genius loci" of this place, which has remained virtually unchanged since Goethe's death, thanks to fortunate circumstances. It is precisely this that makes the walk through the rooms and the garden an unforgettable experience. This film expertly explains the art treasures housed in the Goethe House and the camera even allows a glimpse into the most sacrosanct rooms that would otherwise remain off-limits to "ordinary visitors." Additionally, the author invites us on a biographical journey through decisive stages and periods in Goethe's life. Many of the furnishings become vivid and understandable to the viewer only through this historically authentic connection. Thus, as we tour the rooms of the Weimar poet's house, we enter into Goethe's fascinating world.------- Chapters▷ 0:00:00 - Intro▷ 0:00:27 - Goethe and his house in Weimar▷ 0:01:43 - Charlotte von Stein▷ 0:02:38 - The Goethe House▷ 0:03:50 - Escape to Italy▷ 0:04:45 - 1788, Return to Weimar▷ 0:05:14 - Ilmpark▷ 0:05:58 - Christiane Vulpius▷ 0:07:11 - Entrance door▷ 0:07:35 - Staircase▷ 0:09:08 - Ildefonso Group▷ 0:10:17 - Yellow Hall▷ 0:13:19 - French Revolution▷ 0:16:37 - Reineke Fuchs▷ 0:17:50 - Bridge room, Bust room▷ 0:21:12 - Garden▷ 0:21:57 - Stone collection▷ 0:23:30 - 1794, Friedrich Schiller, "die horen"▷ 0:25:27 - Stage designs for "The Magic Flute", Hermann and Dorothea▷ 0:26:27 - Faust▷ 0:27:46 - Essence of colors▷ 0:29:41 - Christiane Vulpius▷ 0:35:12 - Napoleon, Frenchmen in Weimar▷ 0:36:17 - Goethe marries Christiane Vulpius▷ 0:36:35 - Wilhelmine Herzlieb, Elective Affinities▷ 0:36:59 - Bettina Brentano, Poetry and Truth▷ 0:37:40 - Front house, Large collection room▷ 0:44:51 - Johann Heinrich Meyer▷ 0:46:09 - Goethe in Frankfurt, Marianne von Willemer, Gingo biloba▷ 0:48:21 - Ceiling room▷ 0:52:32 - Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years▷ 0:53:58 - Yellow Hall & Small dining room▷ 0:57:45 - Ulrike von Levetzow▷ 0:59:25 - Juno room▷ 1:05:12 - Completion of Faust▷ 1:05:28 - Complete edition of the last hand▷ 1:05:53 - Johann Peter Eckermann▷ 1:10:50 - Urbino room▷ 1:18:04 - 1830, Goethe's last years, Legacy▷ 1:19:42 - Goethe's bedroom▷ 1:21:55 - End credits#documentary #goethe #weimar #poet ------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUtFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- Original title: Goethe and his House in WeimarA film by Beate SchubertReview 2024/Film colorization by Jonas Hoge2015, licensed by Pentagramm Filmproduktion, Berlin------- High quality videos about artists and personalities from cinema, music, theatre & media.

Daniel Barenboim receives Wolf Prize and backs Palestinians’ demand for a state of their own wocomoCULTURE 2024-01-12 | In 2004, conductor Daniel Barenboim, founder of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, started a project to help Palestinian youngsters learn classical music, while backing the Palestinians’ demand for a state of their own. Barenboim, who was born in Argentina and raised in Israel, was awarded the 2004 Wolf Prize for “achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among peoples,” in a ceremony at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. He later contributed the $100,000 award to a Palestinian music conservatory in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Israeli Education Minister, Limor Livnat, was also present at the award ceremony and was visibly unhappy with the maestro's speech.In 2001, Barenboim already defied an informal Israeli ban on public performances of the works of German composer Richard Wagner, Hitler’s favorite composer.This is an excerpt of "Knowledge is the beginning", Paul Smaczny's film on Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (2005).

Bohr went on to help Robert Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project team build the atomic bomb.

Jean Harlow: Hollywoods platinium blonde who inspired Marilyn Monroe meets tragic fate wocomoCULTURE 2023-10-04 | This is an excerpt of Jean Harlow & William Powell | Iconic Couples of HollywoodClick here to watch the full documentary: youtu.be/ss2LOg9CxWYJean Harlow was one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood in the 1930s and well known for her portrayal of "bad girl" characters and a leading sex symbol at that time. Her first major role was in Howard Hughes "Hell's Angels" (1930) and was later followed by movies that built on her comedic talent such as "Red-Headed Woman" (1932), "Red Dust" (1932), "Dinner at Eight" (1933), "Reckless" (1935), and "Suzy" (1936). Much more than the sex symbol MGM cast her as, Jean Harlow left her mark on Hollywood with her sparkling, dedicated performance. Jean Harlow was also an actress who was crushed by Hollywood and by her family, who dominated her. She died at the age of 26 of kidney failure while filming "Saratoga" which became MGM's most successful film of 1937, as well as the highest-grossing film of Harlows career. Harlow, with the eternal nickname "platinum blonde", always imbued the cinema with her aura, and was a source of fascination for Marilyn Monroe throughout her tragic career.------- Chapters▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:05 - Jean Harlow: Hollywood's Platinium blonde meets tragic fate#documentary #hollywood #jeanharlow #classicmovies #actress #bombshell #blonde------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUt Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- ** About the series ICONIC COUPLES **A mini-series of six of Hollywood's most attractive & iconic couples: with lots of never before seen footage and plenty of film clips featuring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, Jean Harlow and William Powell, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.Produced by Adamis ProductionDirected by Bertrand Tessier© 2016, Licensed by Poorhouse International------- High quality videos about artists and personalities from cinema, music, theatre & media.

Hollywood blacklist: When the Hollywood Ten and Chaplin saw their careers destroyed wocomoCULTURE 2023-09-27 | This is an excerpt of "Hollywood's chase for communists: The era of James Bond and John le Carré | The Witch Hunt is on"Click here to watch the full documentary: youtu.be/BXcITKz5-8QAlthough the Cold War virtually ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Hollywood still relies on it for box office value. The witch hunt has been on for more than 50 years, and Hollywood has cashed in on fear and paranoia ever since. During World War II there were the Nazis, and the Russian people were supported "in their heroic fight" against the aggressor. Once the Nazis had been defeated and the Cold War was under way the roles were reversed and yesterday's allies became today's enemies. America went hysterical with anti-communist paranoia.When Hollywood blacklisted because of suspicions of communism------- Chapters▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:05 - Hollywood: Blacklist and the Hollywood Ten#documentary #hollywood #coldwar #communism #1950s------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUt Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- The Cold War, by polarizing the world in two, created a paranoia that was to reshape the Hollywood landscape: the Red Scare, a fear of the Communist threat from within. The loyalty of American citizens was called into question, as anyone could be a Communist spy ready to overthrow the government. And so, to prevent the spread of Eastern bloc ideology, it was necessary to regain control of the mass communication instrument par excellence: the cinema. U.S. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy decided to set up a committee to investigate Hollywood film industry and potential Communists within it. And to keep them off the screen. During investigations, Hollywood employees could lose their jobs if they refuse to cooperate or if they are under suspicion. The "House Un-American Activities Committee" held trials against blacklisted filmmakers. The famous Hollywood Ten who refused to testify got a one-year prison sentence. Even Humphrey Bogart had to use his formidable publicity machine to make clear to the American public that he was no communist. Over the years, a lot of actors, directors, screenwriters and producers were unable to work due to the blacklist, including stars like Dalton Trumbo and Charlie Chaplin.Original title: The Witch Hunt is onDirected by Clara & Julia KuperbergProduced by Wichita Films© 2012, Licensed by Poorhouse International------- High quality videos about artists and personalities from cinema, music, theatre & media.

Hays Code: When the Catholic Church censored Hollywood for over 30 years wocomoCULTURE 2023-09-20 | When Hollywood came to be viewed as a place of the dammed and sinful, Will Hayes, a republican and Presbyterian, non-smoker, non-drinker, but wired to power in Washington and Wall Street, implemented the Hayes code which has been in force until the early 60s when it formally ended and was replaced by a rating system which rather warns than forbids. Ironically the enforcement of the code came as a challenge to script writers and directors and one can say that Hollywood’s most creative era was due to it. Clara and Julia Kuperberg selected clips to demonstrate how movies often reflected their time from pre-code sexuality to post-code soberness in line with a Puritan heritage.------- Chapters▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:05 - Hays Code#documentary #hollywood #hayscode #movies #1930s #precode #movies #usa------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUt Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- With the Great Depression and evaporating income cinema attendance fell drastically, to counter this trend Hollywood became more and more violent and sexy, to a point that a call for censorship of some kind was in the air. Indeed the better organized catholic minority created the Catholic Legion of Decency and the clergy admonished their Sunday church goers to boycott certain cinemas and films. Hollywood became to be viewed as a place of the damned and sinful. As cinema became a tool of mass control, socially disturbing subjects were banned from screenplays. Hollywood had to convey an image that conformed to societal norms. Studios began to censor screenplays that were too explicit or took liberties with American moral codes. This code was ruthlessly enforced from 1934 onwards, with the arrival of the rigid Joseph Breen as head of the Censorship Board.

How Mona Lisa was stolen in minutes by a Louvres worker in broad daylight wocomoCULTURE 2023-09-13 | This is an excerpt of "Stealing Mona Lisa - The thief behind the greatest art heist of the 20th century"Click here to watch the full documentary: youtu.be/SR3_DSCSGeMThe story of Vincenzo Peruggia, the man who stole the Mona Lisa. How did an unassuming housepainter from Italy pull off “the greatest little known art heist in modern time?” Was his motivation more than money? Writer-director Joe Medeiros traces the path of Vincenzo Peruggia, charged with the 1911 theft of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa from The Louvre, and finds the story of a daughter mourning the father she never knew and a country recovering from old wounds. Combining historical photographs, animation and interviews with Peruggia’s descendants, Medeiros answers why and how the man called “Macaroni” by his French co-workers absconded with and kept the legendary painting for two years. ------- Chapters▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:05 - Stealing Mona Lisa #documentary #monalisa #davinci #famouspainting #arthistory #louvre #museum ------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUt Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- Today, it's hard to imagine that the world's most famous painting could be stolen, especially in broad daylight. And yet, in 1911, a guard at the Louvre Museum decided to steal the Mona Lisa to restore his country's honor by returning the spoliations commited under Napoleon. His name, Vincenzo Peruggia, will go down in history. Yet the Mona Lisa was not his first choice, even though the museum is home to many more famous Italian paintings. The Mona Lisa's singularity: its size. Indeed, it's easier to transport in broad daylight without arousing suspicion. This excerpt explains with a touch of humour how, in just 15 minutes, Peruggia managed to steal the painting and bring it back to his little bedroom in the 10th arrondissment and back to Italy. For 2 years, the Louvre will be orphaned by what will soon be its most famous painting. Astonishingly, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Mona Lisa didn't have the popularity or the aura it has today.

Hollywoods Femme Fatale: A dangerous and seductive woman who catalyzes all mens fears wocomoCULTURE 2023-09-06 | This is an excerpt of "LA Film Noir: The capital of Hollywood's most pessimistic era"Click here to watch the full documentary: youtu.be/0j6PDOV65ngFilm noir describes a kind of movie dealing with crime, private eyes, plain clothes policemen, hapless grifters, law-abiding citizens lured into a life of crime or simply victims of circumstance and often in the presence of a "femme fatale". The term "film noir" was originally coined by the French film critic Nino Frank and taken from "série noir" which was a popular collection of detective stories in France. Film historians still argue whether there is such a genre. It occurred mainly in the 40s and 50s with a revival in the 70s. The first true film noir is supposed to be the Maltese Falcon (1941). Others think it was Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity (1943) or even Josef von Sternbergs Underworld (1927).------- Chapters▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:05 - Archetype of the Femme Fatale#documentary #hollywood #femmefatale #classicmovies #filmnoir------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUt Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- The archetype of the femme fatale didn't originate with cinema; in painting, it's symbolized by the biblical character Salome. However, it was with the advent of Film Noir that the femme fatale became a popular archetype, with famous actresses giving her their features. In film noir, the femme fatale symbolizes men's fears. She is Eve, the deviant who will lead man to his doom, a dangerous promise whose temptation is far too great. In film noir, the femme fatale symbolizes men's fears. She is Eve, the deviant who will lead man to his doom, a dangerous promise whose temptation is far too great. It's worth noting that the femme fatale character emerged at a time when women in the United States were gaining economic and social independence. The detectives and anti-heroes of film noir were falling into the hands of women who were working, wealthy or single. Far from the feminine standards of the time. And yet, over 50, 60 years later, they continue to haunt cinema with their iconic aura. Gene Tierney will remain the emblematic and phantasmatic Laura, the woman with the portrait who bewitches men. While Barbara Stanwyck, as Phyllis Dietrichson, one of cinema's most subversive femmes fatales, and Diane Tremayne, played by Jean Simmons in "Angel Face", will remain the most subversive of all.Original title: Los Angeles Film NoirDirected by Clara & Julia KuperbergProduced by Wichita Films© 2015, Licensed by Poorhouse International------- High quality videos about artists and personalities from cinema, music, theatre & media.

She actually wanted to be a boy and became an atypical actress who won four Oscars and was briefly involved with billionaire Howard Hughes. Spencer Tracy's childhood was difficult. He preferred watching films to going to school. So he decided to pursue a career as a stage actor. Thanks to his beginnings on Broadway, he had made it to Hollywood, where his personality was remarkably changed. Since he was married and had a deaf child when he met Katherine Hepburn, he did not dare to file for divorce. The film from the series "Iconic Couples" features Daniel Selznick, grandson of Louis B.

Unique and unrivalled, Katharine Hepburn baffled Holywood and its times with her non-conformist spirit. And yet the woman who was once dubbed "box-office poison" went on to win 4 Oscars, a record. This excerpt looks back at her debut in Hollywood. And right from the start, she imposed her style and her ideas. Her films reflect her independence, as she wore pants throughout her life, even though they were considered indecent for a woman in those days. Through her films, she tried to change moral standards. Sylvia Scarlett, Mornin Glory and Bringing up Baby, portrayed egotistical, androgynous women far removed from the standards of the time.Original title: Iconic Couples - Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy Directed by Anne-Cecile GenreProduced by Adamis Production© 2016, Licensed by Poorhouse International------- High quality videos about artists and personalities from cinema, music, theatre & media.

Welcome to the 21st Century". It takes a look into the meanings and emotional experiences created through Libeskinds probably most meaningful architectural work - the Jewish Museum in Berlin. How does he give a voice to the experience of loss, and express the non-representable, making Berlin confront its memory?------- #documentary #architecture #education #jewishmuseum #daniellibeskind #history------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUt Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- Visionary architect Daniel Libeskind (* May 12th, 1946) has succeeded in transforming himself from a writer, theorist, and lecturer in architecture, to a constructor of major building projects around the world. Since his first major commission in 1987, he has won many international competitions to design high-profile public buildings. This program looks at Libeskind’s work, focusing on the Jewish Museum in Berlin, one of his most important achievements, in which he used his powerful architectural language to express and process the trauma of the Holocaust and exile. It also touches on his artistic controversies - London's debate over The Spiral as well as his radical extension to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Other projects by Libeskind include the Imperial War Museum in Manchester, a concert hall in Bremen, Germany, the Jewish Museum in San Francisco, a University building in Guadalajara, Mexico, and an observatory in Uozu, Japan. He also served as an advisor on the planning of One World Trade Center 8which opened in 2014) and is currently working on the creation of the Albert Einstein Discovery Center in Ulm.The dynamic and complex buildings Libeskind designs, bear the hallmark of his approach to architecture in which he seeks to give concrete form to philosophical ideas and to make meaningful connections with the past. Over and above his genius for producing buildings that are as expressive as abstract sculptures, this intellectual concern brings an extra dimension to his work that sets him apart from many of his contemporaries.

Hollywood on strike: Actors formed their own union to defend their rights in the 1930s wocomoCULTURE 2023-08-02 | Over more than a hundred years Hollywood has been the leading producer of entertainment having to reinvent itself from time to time. Just imagine the shock when the first "talkies" appeared, the advent of television, new attractions or a financial crisis.

The Great Depression that hit America in the late 20s was a way for the major studios to cut production costs, despite ever-increasing profits. Writers, actors and technicians, everyone was affected. That's when Hollywood employees decided to go on strike and form unions to defend their rights against the Big Five.This led, in 1933, to the creation of the Screen Actor Guild, which still exists today, and which is currently defending its rights, which are becoming increasingly precarious in the age of streaming. The union was supported by Hollywood greats such as James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Katharine Hepburn.

Bollywood: Alfred Talkies, traditional Hindi cinema is owned by a woman wocomoCULTURE 2023-07-26 | This is an excerpt of "Bollywood : Mumbai's last film poster painter | Art of Bollywood poster"Click here to watch the full documentary: youtu.be/v5wfK0-yNqgIn the heart of Mumbai lives Sheikh Rehman, the city's last painter of film posters. His studio is run in the old masters' style – behind the screen of an old Hindi film cinema. Here, Rehman is both artist and guru, comedian and philosopher. But modernity is taking over and the audiences that have come in for generations for refuge and entertainment are dwindling. With the theatre facing potential demolition, marketing has turned to more plastic movie posters to lure in more people, replacing the need for Rehman’s original work. It’s a hopeless struggle but Rehman won’t give up … ORIGINAL COPY is a delightful ode to life and the cinema. As Rehman says, movies are like life: "The reel keeps rolling, and the movie goes on." ------- Chapters▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:05 - Bollywood: Alfred Talkies, traditional Hindi cinema is owned by a woman#documentary #bollywood #hindi #women #india #cinema ------- Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUt Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo ------- In the heart of Mumbay, in Kamathipura district, a traditional Hindi cinema is run by a woman. Still too rare in a country where women live in insecurity and lack of consideration. In fact, her grandfather, who owned the cinema Alfred Cinema Hall, had no intention of passing it on to his granddaughter. Nonsense in a society where family pride is based on a daughter's marriage, rather than on her education and professional future. And yet, for the woman who was nurtured from an early age by Bollywood cinema, becoming the manager of this temple of cinema was always an obvious choice. In fact, her life is like that of a heroine in a Hindi film by Satyajit Ray, beyond women's familiar images: an impulsive, determined woman, the driving force behind the emancipation of women who love her work. She carefully checks all the films released in her cinema, taking care to show mainly action films appreciated by her audience. Here, films are projected on 35mm. Alfred talkies is one of Mumbai’s most atmospheric theatres. However, as well as having to deal with the injustices against women, the manager also has to face up to the economic upheavals affecting cinemas and the sometimes vicious competition between them.

The film follows him on a journey into the past that takes him to Paris, where he lived as a young painter and made his decision to become a filmmaker. He recounts his experiences, successes and failures as a film student on the way to becoming a director. He also conveys the attitudes and the euphoric mood among the first intake of students at Munich’s newly founded film school. Apart from Wenders himself, some of his most important fellow-travellers also have their say, including Peter Handke, Robby Müller, Rüdiger Vogler, Bruno Ganz and Lisa Kreuzer. As they remember, they discuss some of the fundamental, recurring themes of Wenders’ films – such as the search for identity, friendship and communication. They also discuss their own personal experiences with Wenders, both private and professional. Excerpts from Wenders’ early works like "Alice in the city", Kings of the road and "Wrong Move", illustrate how, time and again, the filmmaker portrayed familar people he knew and authentic experiences. The early films of Wim Wenders are now regarded as landmarks of European film and were the foundations of the German New Wave. his road trilogy embodies themes that became cornerstones of all his work: national identity, the importance of personal relationships and the allure of the road. This is just one of the ways in which this documentary sheds new light on the early films of Wim Wenders.

La Paloma: The true story behind the world most popular song wocomoCULTURE 2023-05-02 | La Paloma was born in the 1860s as a Cuban Habanera, composed by the Basque Sebastian Iradier. This simple love song took off on a flight around the world and became an immediate hit in Mexico. La Paloma brought tears to the eyes of the unfortunate Hapsburg Emperor Maximilian on the Mexican throne, while liberals mocked him in a satirical version. As a marching song La Paloma arrived in Europe and came of age. To her melody children in Auschwitz filed into the gas chambers. A song that has scored countless personal moments, and spoken for itself for 150 years, doesn’t need our commentary – it deserves our celebration!Subscribe to wocomoCULTURE: goo.gl/VITuUtFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomoIn Zanzibar they play it at the end of weddings, in Romania at the end of funerals, in Mexico as a protest song, and in Germany as a sailor’s lament. Written a century and a half ago by Sebastián Iradier and first performed in Cuba, “La Paloma”—the most frequently played song in the world—has circled the globe like a dove to touch listeners’ hearts with longing. La Paloma is recognizable by its song's rhythm, which defines the style of the habanera, a popular music genre in the 19th century. But Jazz artists, opera singers, pop stars, and others raced to perform the song--even Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, Frankie Laine or Harry Belafonte.Drawing upon insightful expert commentary, moving personal anecdotes, and snippets from dozens of versions of “La Paloma,” this program follows the song’s trail in an effort to understand its power to enchant so very many people. A mix of music history and ethnomusicology to tells the story of this popular song, which through the history has carried divergent messages and signification. Music thus has the ability to cross ages and borders, and to resonate differently in different cultures.

The photo of Abbas synthesizes contradictions and hopes of Iranian people. Abbas described himself as a photographer of the outside, he became never the other, he took photos, then he left. A born photographer, he had a remarquable ability to capture mankind and its contradiction. His work focuses on faith and fanaticism, particularly in Islam and Buddhism. But Abbas' most famous photographs come from the Iranian Revolution in 1979. He covered the tumultuous events in his country. He knew there was something in the air, because there was too much tension and too much progress, so he wanted to do some in-depth work on Iran.He captured the hostage crisis in Iran with the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Abbas observed the dynamics of his country, recounting every detail with a critical eye, as he did in South Africa to cover apartheid and the Vietnam War in the Vietcong, where few photojournalists covered the events. In retrospect, he decrisbed himself as a historian of the present and was his mission to show these pictures now to the world. What he was looking for in each of his photos was the suspended moment, to give the feeling that the photo is not frozen but continues to live. The captured moment continues its action.
