O fotógrafo dos escritores perde seu acervo

Sylvia Colombo

Certa vez, quando foi fotografar o escritor argentino Adolfo Bioy Casares, ao lado da cama do autor, em sua casa, este lhe disse: “A eternidade é uma das raras virtudes da literatura”. A frase ficou na cabeça de Daniel Mordzinski, 53, fotógrafo argentino radicado na França que há trinta anos se dedica a retratar escritores em situações fora do convencional. Em suas imagens, vemos o israelense Amos Oz parado no meio do deserto, o argentino Andrés Neuman deitado numa mesa de bilhar, seu compatriota Ricardo Piglia posando entre cabides, Zélia Gattai com uma coleção de imagens religiosas, o mexicano Juan Villoro cabeceando uma bola de futebol, Federico Andahazi saindo de um táxi e inúmeras cenas inusitadas.

Mordzinski começou a fazer suas chamadas “fotinskis” em 1978. Tinha apenas 18 anos, sonhava ser escritor e estava buscando oportunidades. Até que Ricardo Wullicher, produtor e amigo, o chamou para acompanhar a filmagem de “Borges para Millones”. Mordzinski, então, teve a oportunidade de fazer a foto acima, na qual temos o célebre gênio argentino mirando o horizonte. A partir daí, Mordzinski começou a se dedicar a fotografar escritores, tendo como objetivo, um dia, reunir um grande atlas da literatura latino-americana e espanhola.

Lendo e, principalmente, escutando os autores, passou a inspirar-se. Foi assim com o peruano Mario Vargas Llosa. O autor de “Lituma nos Andes” contou em uma palestra que sempre desobedecia sua mãe quando ela lhe pedia que apagasse a luz para dormir. Ele, então, acendia uma vela e seguia lendo. Mordzinski não teve dúvidas, naquele mesmo dia comprou uma vela e apareceu no quarto de Vargas Llosa, no hotel, para reconstruir a cena de sua infância. O resultado é a foto acima.

Há escritores no banheiro, outros em suas camas (Gabriel García Márquez), sem roupa (Wendy Guerra), quase irreconhecíveis no canto de alguns quadros, ou retratos escancarados, meditativos, poses naturais e armadas. Nas últimas três décadas, Mordzinski viajou por vários países, presenciou inúmeros festivais, principalmente os Hay de Cartagena e Xalapa, e tirou inúmeras fotos.

Após ser correspondente de guerra no Oriente Médio nos anos 80, Mordzinski se instalou em Paris, onde é correspondente do jornal espanhol “El País”. Ali, num escritório do jornal “Le Monde”, guardava os negativos de toda uma vida de trabalho. Pois o diário francês acaba de destruir, por acidente, seu acervo de mais de 50 mil negativos. Ao desalojar a sala para destiná-la para outro fim, o trabalho do fotógrafo foi quase todo para o lixo.

Desesperado, Mordzinski escreveu para outros jornais e em seu site, pedindo uma retratação, que veio após algumas semanas. O fato ganhou ampla repercussão em cadernos de cultura de todo o mundo. E Mordzinski foi defendido por toda a comunidade de escritores, muitos jornalistas e articulistas. O que se perdeu para sempre, porém, foram suas fotos. Por sorte muito havia sido publicado, e pode ser visto também em seu site www.danielmordzinski.com, mas o sonho do atlas das letras ibero-americanas ficou mais complicado de cumprir.

  9. A good many hours after Salisbury had returned to the company of the green rep chairs, Dyson still sat at his desk, itself a Japanese romance, smoking many pipes, and meditating over his friend?? story. The bizarre quality of the inscription which had annoyed Salisbury was to him an attraction, and now and again he took it up and scanned thoughtfully what he had written, especially the quaint jingle at the end. It was a token, a symbol, he decided, and not a cipher, and the woman who had flung it away was in all probability entirely ignorant of its meaning; she was but the agent of the ??am??she had abused and discarded, and he too was again the agent of some one unknown; possibly of the individual styled Q, who had been forced to visit his French friends. But what to make of ??raverse Handel S.??Here was the root and source of the enigma, and not all the tobacco of Virginia seemed likely to suggest any clue here. It seemed almost hopeless, but Dyson regarded himself as the Wellington of mysteries, and went to bed feeling assured that sooner or later he would hit upon the right track. For the next few days he was deeply engaged in his literary labours, labours which were a profound mystery even to the most intimate of his friends, who searched the railway bookstalls in vain for the result of so many hours spent at the Japanese bureau in company with strong tobacco and black tea. On this occasion Dyson confined himself to his room for four days, and it was with genuine relief that he laid down his pen and went out into the streets in quest of relaxation and fresh air. The gas-lamps were being lighted, and the fifth edition of the evening papers was being howled through the streets, and Dyson, feeling that he wanted quiet, turned away from the clamorous Strand, and began to trend away to the north-west. Soon he found himself in streets that echoed to his footsteps, and crossing a broad new thoroughfare, and verging still to the west, Dyson discovered that he had penetrated to the depths of Soho. Here again was life; rare vintages of France and Italy, at prices which seemed contemptibly small, allured the passer-by; here were cheeses, vast and rich, here olive oil, and here a grove of Rabelaisian sausages; while in a neighbouring shop the whole Press of Paris appeared to be on sale. In the middle of the roadway a strange miscellany of nations sauntered to and fro, for there cab and hansom rarely ventured; and from window over window the inhabitants looked forth in pleased contemplation of the scene. Dyson made his way slowly along, mingling with the crowd on the cobble-stones, listening to the queer babel of French and German, and Italian and English, glancing now and again at the shop windows with their levelled batteries of bottles, and had almost gained the end of the street, when his attention was arrested by a small shop at the corner, a vivid contrast to its neighbours. It was the typical shop of the poor quarter; a shop entirely English. Here were vended tobacco and sweets, cheap pipes of clay and cherry-wood; penny exercise-books and pen-holders jostled for precedence with comic songs, and story papers with appalling cuts showed that romance claimed its place beside the actualities of the evening paper, the bills of which fluttered at the doorway. Dyson glanced up at the name above the door, and stood by the kennel trembling, for a sharp pang, the pang of one who has made a discovery, had for a moment left him incapable of motion. The name over the shop was Travers. Dyson looked up again, this time at the corner of the wall above the lamppost, and read in white letters on a blue ground the words ??andel Street, W.C.??and the legend was repeated in fainter letters just below. He gave a little sigh of satisfaction, and without more ado walked boldly into the shop, and stared full in the face of the fat man who was sitting behind the counter. The fellow rose to his feet, and returned the stare a little curiously, and then began in stereotyped phrase ??

Far more individuals must read this and realize this side of the story. I cant believe youre not alot more well-known due to the fact you definitely have the gift.

  17. I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  18. There are actually lots of particulars like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice level to bring up. I supply the thoughts above as general inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you carry up the place crucial thing might be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, however I’m certain that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of only a moment’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

  21. Excellent blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Thanks!
