An interview with Magnum's Josef Koudelka on The New York Times' Lens.
Josef Koudelka started his professional life as an engineer in
Czechoslovakia and switched to photography in his late 20s. He
photographed the Soviet invasion of his country in 1968 and published
his seminal book, “Gypsies,” in 1975 (a revised and enlarged edition was
published by Aperture in 2011).
His new book, “Wall: Israeli and Palestinian Landscapes,”
also published by Aperture, is a result of four years of photographing
the Israeli-built wall that separates the Palestinian West Bank and
Israel. The book came out of a group project, “This Place: Making Images, Breaking Images — Israel and the West Bank,” that was organized by the photographer Frédéric Brenner and included Mr. Koudelka and 11 other photographers.
Mr. Koudelka, 75, has been a member of Magnum Photos
for more than 40 years. He spoke with James Estrin in Paris last week.
The conversation has been edited and will run in two parts on Lens,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
