Alexandr Hackenschmied出生于1907年,是捷克现摄影和电影的创始人之一。他在这里更为人所知的名字是萨莎·哈米德,他于1939年逃离祖国捷克斯洛伐克的纳粹迫害,1947年成为美国公民时取了这个名字。从那时起,他和妻子玛雅·德伦在美国先锋派电影中扮演了关键角色。Hackenschmied自己和其他艺术家合作拍摄了许多重要的纪录片,包括1964年的电影《活着!》!,与弗朗西斯·汤普森合作,该片于1967年获得奥斯卡最佳纪录片奖。他的摄影作品虽然在这里不太为人所知,但同样值得称赞。在这本书中,我们看到了他对空间的动态概念——多年的摄影师和编辑经验磨练而成——以及形式上的完美与深刻的情感共鸣的结合,艺术家的思想与观众的思想的交汇。

Born in 1907, Alexandr Hackenschmied is one of the founders of modern Czech photography and film. He is better known here as Sasha Hammid, the name he took upon becoming a United States citizen in 1947, having fled Nazi persecution in his native Czechoslovakia in 1939. Since then he and his wife, Maya Deren, have played a key role in American avant-garde film. Both by himself and in collaboration with other artists, Hackenschmied made a number of important documentaries--including the 1964 film To Be Alive!, made with Francis Thompson, which was awarded an Oscar for Best Documentary in 1967. His photographic work, though less well known here, is equally worthy of praise. In it we see his dynamic conception of space--honed with years of experience as a cameraman and editor--and the combination of formal perfection with deep emotional resonance, the meeting of the artist's mind with the mind of the audience.
