Andrey Tarkovsky znany jest przede wszystkim jako jeden z największych reżyserów filmowych w historii kina. Powyższy album przedstawia jego fotograficzny dorobek. Wśród zdjęć można znaleźć m. in. polaroidy domu, rodziny, rosyjskich przyjaciół oraz miejsc, które artysta odwiedził we Włoszech.
The Russian Andrey Tarkovsky (1932-1986) is one of the greatest
directors in film history. His father, Arseny, was a distinguished
poet, and judging from the notebook extracts accompanying the pictures,
Tarkovsky was no mean poet himself. Like his father, he intuited a holy
eternity. Those windows into eternity, the icons of the Orthodox
Church, influenced his visual style (his Andrei Rublev
commemorates the greatest icon painter), and these photos, suffused by
the ochre light of late afternoon and so powerfully composed that they
argue that supreme artistic visualization was second nature to
Tarkovsky, look so timeless and enduring that they inspire worshipful
awe. Like some of the imagery of The Mirror, the Tarkovsky film
these pictures most resemble, some of them tax and frustrate
legibility. Always, they affirm a line of Arseny Tarkovsky's, "We are
all immortal."
