Magnum photographers share their very personal pictures

We love the photographers of the legendary Magnum agency. The photo project "Up close and personal" includes more than 60 photos from members of the agency, which, as they believe, fully reveal the topic of intimacy.

"In addition to the fundamental hypocrisy of photographic production, which feeds on human misery under the pretext of spreading information or raising awareness, the promotion of sympathetic iconography neutralizes intuition, tames cruel instincts and causes the risk of safe intimacy and deception.

I prefer hacking strategies, creating a secret, forbidden, immoral language that destroys the protocols built by the dominant ideology, with the deliberate purpose of poisoning, perverting and destroying it. The act of photographing does not accept compromises: it must expand the physical boundaries of life and possess the world through absorption and absorption.

Photography is a source of disorder because it carries the seeds of action, releasing the rage that makes fear and passion bearable. Being, loving, thinking and suffering are no longer enough. You have to be a saint or a madman."
