In this collaborative volume, black-and-white photographs by London-based Russian photographer Sasha Gusov (born 1960) document the shooting of Russian film director Andrei Konchalovsky’s (born 1937) film The Sin. Both taking Michelangelo as their subject, Gusov’s photographs resemble Quattrocento paintings, capturing Konchalovsky’s actors in stark and meditative poses.
After gaining international recognition with The Bolshoi (La Fábrica, 2017), the Russian photographer Sasha Gusov turns us into privileged spectators of the life of one of the most fascinating men in history: Michelangelo. This volume—a collaboration between Sasha Gusov and the Russian film director Andrei Konchalovsky—is a photographic diary that not only portrays the shooting of the movie The Sin, but also observes the faces from the past with extraordinary depth, bringing us closer to the Renaissance man’s psychology and the lights and shadows of his constant search for beauty. Gusov’s beautiful, black-and white photographs, which look like paintings of the Quattrocento, show the actors in meditative poses and in the moments of greatest concentration, in a stark and precise way.
