Annie Leibovitz storms Madrid
The photographer Annie Leibovitz has a double life. In her work she faces all sorts of y situations, whether tying a duck to Leonardo di Caprio’s neck or undressing Kate Moss for a shoot with her former boyfriend Johnny Depp. At home, the shots are spontaneous and casual. The two lives of the best photographers of the world are shown in an impressive retrospective came to Madrid (Alcalá 31) some weeks ago and will remain until September the 6th.
The exhibit A Photographer’s Life is a MUST-SEE if you are in Madrid, with more than 200 pictures from actors, heads of state but also Leibovitz family, including many photos of her partner, writer Susan Sontag, who is defined as “intimate friend.” In the exhibition’s catalogue. Anyway, witticisms from Madrid’s government.
The images of Sontag’s agony and death are not easy to digest. The writer’s son, David Rieff, has said she would have never accepted to be seen like that in public, but we hardly believe that Leibovitz expose all these images without her wifes consent …
