BRUCE GILDEN (1946, Brooklyn/New York – lives in New York City)<br />
From the “Go” series, 1995–2000<br />
Although he is now a regular member of the Magnum agency, Bruce Gilden is anything but a traditional reportage<br />
photographer. His role models could be William Klein or Diane Arbus. There is no doubt that Gilden was inspired<br />
by Leon Levinstein, whose interest in people and unusual physiognomy he shares. Gilden looks for his subjects<br />
in everyday urban life, and he sometimes attempts to further increase the visual radicalism of bizarre situations<br />
by combining daylight and flash lighting. “Go”, his series about petty criminals, prostitutes and Mafiosi taken in<br />
Japan between 1995 and 2000 (see “<strong>Leica</strong> World” 2/2001) is certainly Gilden’s best work of this type to date.<br />
