In 1999, music conductor Daniel Barenboim and literary scholar Edward Said founded the West Eastern Divan Orchestra in Weimar. Since then, young Israeli and Arab musicians have been playing together around the world, under Barenboim's baton. For violinist Georges Yammine, the orchestra is “a fixed star, a source of inspiration and strength, and the hope of understanding”. His aim is to use the M9 to “capture the transformational magic of music, which seems able to break through the silence of darkness and dissolve torpor with amazing ease”. We spoke to him about good portraits, inspiring passions and very special birthday presents.
1999年,音乐指挥家丹尼尔·巴伦博伊姆和文学学者爱德华·萨义德(Edward Said)在魏玛创立了西东合集管弦乐团。从那时起,跟随巴伦博伊姆的指挥棒,年轻的以色列和阿拉伯音乐家们一起到世界各地演出。对于小提琴家乔治·雅明(Georges Yammine)而言,该乐团就像一颗恒星,是灵感与力量的源泉,也是理解的希望所在。他的目标是用M9(相机)来捕捉音乐转换的魔力,这看起来似乎可以打破黑暗的寂静,轻而易举化解麻木。我们和他聊到了优秀的人物特写、鼓舞人心的激情和这份非常特别的生日礼物(给巴伦博伊姆准备的)。
For a number of years you've been portraying the West Eastern Divan Orchestra of which you are also a member. Why? What gave you the idea to do this?
问:多年以来,您一直作为西东合集管弦乐团的一员通过相机来刻画它?为什么呢?是什么让您有想法这样做?
The West Eastern Divan Orchestra has been my greatest intellectual and artistic challenge since 1999. I wanted to capture the musical moments in pictures, and I had the wish to dedicate a special gift to Maestro Barenboim on his 70th birthday. The idea that emerged went on to become the photo book A Spark of Hope.
乔治·雅明:大1999年以来,西东合集管弦乐团一直是我在智力与艺术上的最大挑战。我想要在照片中捕捉一些音乐瞬间,我也希望在巴伦博伊姆大师70岁生日之际为他献上一份特别的礼物。这一想法产生后变为了一本图片集《希望之光》。
When musicians play their instruments they are often immersed their own world. Does that make it easier for you to photograph them?
问:音乐家们在演奏乐器时,通常沉浸在自己的世界中。这会使您对他们的拍摄变得更简单吗?
When musicians are immersed in their own musical world, their expressions convey a naturalness and a spiritual strength that makes it easier for the photographer to take a good portrait.
乔治·雅明:当音乐家们沉浸在自己的音乐世界中时,他们的表情传递出自然和精神力量。对摄影师而言,可以更容易地拍摄出好的人像。
On our blog, you’re presenting pictures unpublished till now. Do you have a favourite among them?
问:在我们的博客上,您正在展示还未公开出版的图片,其中有您最喜欢的作品吗?
During the West Eastern Divan Orchestra's 2014 summer tour, I dreamt of taking a joint portrait of Maestro Barenboim and the legendary pianist Martha Argerich. I managed to take my favourite picture during a brief moment of quiet, of introspection, where each listened carefully and with room to align with each other. In that moment, during the rehearsal, I only had a few seconds to put the violin aside and grab the M9.
乔治·雅明:2014年,西东合集管弦乐团夏季巡演期间,我梦想着能够给巴伦博伊姆大师和传奇钢琴家马尔塔·阿格里奇照一张合影。在一个安静严肃的短暂时刻,大家彼此认真聆听,互相思考配合的空间,我便设法拍下了我最喜欢的照片。那时,在整个排练期间,我只有几秒的时间可以放下小提琴,拿起M9(相机)。
You’re passionate about making music and about taking photographs: imagine you had to give up one or the other – which would it be?
问:您对音乐创作和拍摄照片都充满热情,想象一下,如果您不得不放弃其中一个或另一个,会是什么呢?
Both my passions inspire and strengthen each other, so one without the other is inconceivable.
乔治·雅明:我的两个爱好相互激励、强化,所以失去其中任何一个都是不可想象的。
