Don McCullin, или "вереницы скелетов выходят из древних шкафов за твоею спиной" ©
Сидел - и с гремуей смесью восторга и ужаса в душе просматривал купленный чадушкой альбом Дона МакКаллина. Мы ещё обязательно поговорим и об этой книге, и о фильме, снятом про Дона, и о тех временах.
Ужас и драйв. До пост-модерна люди стреляли боевыми патронами: хлопушки пришли после.
“Somebody’s made a film about me [McCullin, released in Britain earlier this year] and there’s this colonel of the battalion I was with back then in it. He says they have a reunion or did have reunion every year after the war in Vietnam and he says this individual never, ever turned up. Everybody says to me, ‘Have you ever found out what happened to this guy?’ I haven’t but you know, in photography, you usually don’t. A lot of the soldiers around him, when I found him sitting in that place, they thought he was what we call in England ‘swinging the lead,’ trying to get out of the fight, really. They basically left him there, in isolation.” Shell-shocked U.S. Marine awaits evacuation, Tet Offensive, Hue, South Vietnam, February 1968. Gelatin silver print.
